Job 9:25-35 - My Life Is Speeding By

²⁵ My days have been swifter than a runner, They have fled, they have not seen good, ²⁶ They have passed on with ships of reed, As an eagle darteth on food. ²⁷ Though I say, 'I forget my talking, I forsake my corner, and I brighten up!' ²⁸ I have been afraid of all my griefs, I have known that Thou dost not acquit me. ²⁹ I -- I am become wicked; why is this? In vain I labour. ³⁰ If I have washed myself with snow-water, And purified with soap my hands, ³¹ Then in corruption Thou dost dip me, And my garments have abominated me.

³² But if a man like myself -- I answer him, We come together into judgment. ³³ If there were between us an umpire, He doth place his hand on us both. ³⁴ He doth turn aside from off me his rod, And His terror doth not make me afraid, ³⁵ I speak, and do not fear Him, But I am not right with myself.
