Job 9 (ERVEN) Easy to Read - English

1 Then Job answered:
2 "Of course, I know that this is true. But how can a human being win an argument with God?
3 Anyone who chose to argue with him could not answer one question in a thousand!
4 God is so wise and powerful that no one could oppose him and survive.
5 When God is angry, he moves mountains before they know what happened.
6 He can shake the earth, and it will tremble down to its foundations.
7 With one command he can stop the sun from rising. He can lock up the stars and keep them from shining.
8 He alone made the skies, and he walks on the ocean waves.
9 "God made the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades. He made the planets that cross the southern sky.
10 He does things too marvelous for people to understand. He does too many miracles to count!
11 When he passes by, I cannot see him. He goes right past me, and I don't notice.
12 If he takes something away, no one can stop him. No one can say to him, 'What are you doing?'
13 God will not hold back his anger. Even Rahab's helpers are afraid of him.
14 So I cannot argue with God. I would not know what to say to him.
15 I am innocent, but I cannot give him an answer. All I can do is beg my Judge for mercy.
16 Even if I called and he answered, I cannot believe he would listen to me.
17 He would just send storms to crush me. He would give me more wounds for no reason.
18 He would not let me catch my breath again. He would just give me more trouble.
19 I cannot defeat God. He is too powerful! I cannot take him to court for justice. Who could force him to come?
20 I am innocent, but anything I say makes me seem guilty. I am innocent, but if I speak, my mouth proves me wrong.
21 I am innocent, but I don't know what to think. I hate my own life.
22 So I say, 'Does it make any difference? God destroys the innocent as well as the guilty.'
23 Does God just laugh when a disaster kills innocent people?
24 Is it God who keeps the leaders from seeing when an evil person takes control? If it is not God, then who is it?
25 "My days are passing faster than a runner. They are flying by without any joy.
26 They go by as quickly as papyrus boats, as fast as an eagle swooping down on its prey.
27 "I could say, 'I will not complain. I will forget my pain and put a smile on my face.'
28 But the suffering still frightens me. I know that God will not see me as innocent.
29 I will be found guilty, so why should I even think about it?
30 Even if I scrubbed my hands with soap and washed myself whiter than snow,
31 God would still push me into the slime pit, and even my clothes would hate to touch me.
32 God is not a human like me, so I cannot argue with him. I cannot take him to court.
33 I wish there were someone who could listen to both sides, someone to judge both of us in a fair way.
34 I wish someone could take away the threat of God's punishment. Then he would not frighten me anymore.
35 Then I could say what I want without being afraid of him. But I cannot do that now.
1 Then Job H347 answered H6030 and said, H559
2 I know H3045 it is so H3588 H3651 of a truth: H551 but how H4100 should man H582 be just H6663 with H5973 God H410 ?
3 If H518 he will H2654 contend H7378 with H5973 him , he cannot H3808 answer H6030 him one H259 of H4480 a thousand. H505
4 He is wise H2450 in heart, H3824 and mighty H533 in strength: H3581 who H4310 hath hardened H7185 himself against H413 him , and hath prospered H7999 ?
5 Which removeth H6275 the mountains, H2022 and they know H3045 not: H3808 which H834 overturneth H2015 them in his anger. H639
6 Which shaketh H7264 the earth H776 out of her place H4480 H4725 , and the pillars H5982 thereof tremble. H6426
7 Which commandeth H559 the sun, H2775 and it riseth H2224 not; H3808 and sealeth up H2856 the stars. H3556
8 Which alone H905 spreadeth out H5186 the heavens, H8064 and treadeth H1869 upon H5921 the waves H1116 of the sea. H3220
9 Which maketh H6213 Arcturus, H5906 Orion, H3685 and Pleiades, H3598 and the chambers H2315 of the south. H8486
10 Which doeth H6213 great things H1419 past H5704 H369 finding out; H2714 yea , and wonders H6381 without H5704 H369 number. H4557
11 Lo H2005 , he goeth H5674 by H5921 me , and I see H7200 him not: H3808 he passeth on H2498 also , but I perceive H995 him not. H3808
12 Behold H2005 , he taketh away, H2862 who H4310 can hinder H7725 him? who H4310 will say H559 unto H413 him, What H4100 doest H6213 thou?
13 If God H433 will not H3808 withdraw H7725 his anger, H639 the proud H7295 helpers H5826 do stoop H7817 under H8478 him.
14 How much less H637 H3588 shall I H595 answer H6030 him, and choose out H977 my words H1697 to reason with H5973 him?
15 Whom H834 , though H518 I were righteous, H6663 yet would I not H3808 answer, H6030 but I would make supplication H2603 to my judge. H8199
16 If H518 I had called, H7121 and he had answered H6030 me; yet would I not H3808 believe H539 that H3588 he had hearkened H238 unto my voice. H6963
17 For H834 he breaketh H7779 me with a tempest, H8183 and multiplieth H7235 my wounds H6482 without cause. H2600
18 He will not H3808 suffer H5414 me to take H7725 my breath, H7307 but H3588 filleth H7646 me with bitterness. H4472
19 If H518 I speak of strength, H3581 lo, H2009 he is strong: H533 and if H518 of judgment, H4941 who H4310 shall set me a time H3259 to plead ?
20 If H518 I justify H6663 myself , mine own mouth H6310 shall condemn H7561 me: if I say , I H589 am perfect, H8535 it shall also prove me perverse. H6140
21 Though I H589 were perfect, H8535 yet would I not H3808 know H3045 my soul: H5315 I would despise H3988 my life. H2416
22 This H1931 is one H259 thing , therefore H5921 H3651 I said H559 it , He H1931 destroyeth H3615 the perfect H8535 and the wicked. H7563
23 If H518 the scourge H7752 slay H4191 suddenly, H6597 he will laugh H3932 at the trial H4531 of the innocent. H5355
24 The earth H776 is given H5414 into the hand H3027 of the wicked: H7563 he covereth H3680 the faces H6440 of the judges H8199 thereof; if H518 not, H3808 where, H645 and who H4310 is he H1931 ?
25 Now my days H3117 are swifter H7043 than H4480 a post: H7323 they flee away, H1272 they see H7200 no H3808 good. H2896
26 They are passed away H2498 as H5973 the swift H16 ships: H591 as the eagle H5404 that hasteth H2907 to H5921 the prey. H400
27 If H518 I say, H559 I will forget H7911 my complaint, H7879 I will leave off H5800 my heaviness, H6440 and comfort H1082 myself :
28 I am afraid H3025 of all H3605 my sorrows, H6094 I know H3045 that H3588 thou wilt not H3808 hold me innocent. H5352
29 If I H595 be wicked, H7561 why H4100 then H2088 labor H3021 I in vain H1892 ?
30 If H518 I wash myself H7364 with snow H7950 water, H4325 and make my hands H3709 never H1253 so clean; H2141
31 Yet H227 shalt thou plunge H2881 me in the ditch, H7845 and mine own clothes H8008 shall abhor H8581 me.
32 For H3588 he is not H3808 a man, H376 as I H3644 am, that I should answer H6030 him, and we should come H935 together H3162 in judgment. H4941
33 Neither H3808 is there H3426 any daysman H3198 between H996 us, that might lay H7896 his hand H3027 upon H5921 us both. H8147
34 Let him take his rod away H5493 H7626 from H4480 H5921 me , and let not H408 his fear H367 terrify H1204 me:
35 Then would I speak, H1696 and not H3808 fear H3372 him; but H3588 it is not H3808 so H3651 with H5978 me.
