Job: 7
1. "Is this not the struggle of all humanity? A person's life is long and hard, like that of a hired hand,
2. like a worker who longs for the day to end, like a servant waiting to be paid.
3. I, too, have been assigned months of futility, long and weary nights of misery.
4. When I go to bed, I think, `When will it be morning?' But the night drags on, and I toss till dawn.
5. My skin is filled with worms and scabs. My flesh breaks open, full of pus.
6. "My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle flying back and forth. They end without hope.
7. O God, remember that my life is but a breath, and I will never again experience pleasure.
8. You see me now, but not for long. Your eyes will be on me, but I will be dead.
9. Just as a cloud dissipates and vanishes, those who die will not come back.
10. They are gone forever from their home--never to be seen again.
11. "I cannot keep from speaking. I must express my anguish. I must complain in my bitterness.
12. Am I a sea monster that you place a guard on me?
13. If I think, `My bed will comfort me, and I will try to forget my misery with sleep,'
14. you shatter me with dreams. You terrify me with visions.
15. I would rather die of strangulation than go on and on like this.
16. I hate my life. I do not want to go on living. Oh, leave me alone for these few remaining days.
17. "What are mere mortals, that you should make so much of us?
18. For you examine us every morning and test us every moment.
19. Why won't you leave me alone--even for a moment?
20. Have I sinned? What have I done to you, O watcher of all humanity? Why have you made me your target? Am I a burden to you?
21. Why not just pardon my sin and take away my guilt? For soon I will lie down in the dust and die. When you look for me, I will be gone."
Job: 8
1. Then Bildad the Shuhite replied to Job:
2. "How long will you go on like this? Your words are a blustering wind.
3. Does God twist justice? Does the Almighty twist what is right?
4. Your children obviously sinned against him, so their punishment was well deserved.
5. But if you pray to God and seek the favor of the Almighty,
6. if you are pure and live with complete integrity, he will rise up and restore your happy home.
7. And though you started with little, you will end with much.
8. "Just ask the former generation. Pay attention to the experience of our ancestors.
9. For we were born but yesterday and know so little. Our days on earth are as transient as a shadow.
10. But those who came before us will teach you. They will teach you from the wisdom of former generations.
11. "Can papyrus reeds grow where there is no marsh? Can bulrushes flourish where there is no water?
12. While they are still flowering, not ready to be cut, they begin to wither.
13. Such is the fate of all who forget God. The hope of the godless comes to nothing.
14. Everything they count on will collapse. They are leaning on a spiderweb.
15. They cling to their home for security, but it won't last. They try to hold it fast, but it will not endure.
16. The godless seem so strong, like a lush plant growing in the sunshine, its branches spreading across the garden.
17. Its roots grow down through a pile of rocks to hold it firm.
18. But when it is uprooted, it isn't even missed!
19. That is the end of its life, and others spring up from the earth to replace it.
20. "But look! God will not reject a person of integrity, nor will he make evildoers prosper.
21. He will yet fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy.
22. Those who hate you will be clothed with shame, and the tent of the wicked will be destroyed."
Job: 9
1. Then Job spoke again:
2. "Yes, I know this is all true in principle. But how can a person be declared innocent in the eyes of God?
3. If someone wanted to take God to court, would it be possible to answer him even once in a thousand times?
4. For God is so wise and so mighty. Who has ever challenged him successfully?
5. "Without warning, he moves the mountains, overturning them in his anger.
6. He shakes the earth from its place, and its foundations tremble.
7. If he commands it, the sun won't rise and the stars won't shine.
8. He alone has spread out the heavens and marches on the waves of the sea.
9. He made all the stars--the Bear, Orion, the Pleiades, and the constellations of the southern sky.
10. His great works are too marvelous to understand. He performs miracles without number.
11. "Yet when he comes near, I cannot see him. When he moves on, I do not see him go.
12. If he sends death to snatch someone away, who can stop him? Who dares to ask him, `What are you doing?'
13. And God does not restrain his anger. The mightiest forces against him are crushed beneath his feet.
14. "And who am I, that I should try to answer God or even reason with him?
15. Even if I were innocent, I would have no defense. I could only plead for mercy.
16. And even if I summoned him and he responded, he would never listen to me.
17. For he attacks me without reason, and he multiplies my wounds without cause.
18. He will not let me catch my breath, but fills me instead with bitter sorrows.
19. As for strength, he has it. As for justice, who can challenge him?
20. Though I am innocent, my own mouth would pronounce me guilty. Though I am blameless, it would prove me wicked.
21. "I am innocent, but it makes no difference to me--I despise my life.
22. Innocent or wicked, it is all the same to him. That is why I say, `He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.'
23. He laughs when a plague suddenly kills the innocent.
24. The whole earth is in the hands of the wicked, and God blinds the eyes of the judges and lets them be unfair. If not he, then who?
25. "My life passes more swiftly than a runner. It flees away, filled with tragedy.
26. It disappears like a swift boat, like an eagle that swoops down on its prey.
27. If I decided to forget my complaints, if I decided to end my sadness and be cheerful,
28. I would dread all the pain he would send. For I know you will not hold me innocent, O God.
29. Whatever happens, I will be found guilty. So what's the use of trying?
30. Even if I were to wash myself with soap and cleanse my hands with lye to make them absolutely clean,
31. you would plunge me into a muddy ditch, and I would be so filthy my own clothing would hate me.
32. "God is not a mortal like me, so I cannot argue with him or take him to trial.
33. If only there were a mediator who could bring us together, but there is none.
34. The mediator could make God stop beating me, and I would no longer live in terror of his punishment.
35. Then I could speak to him without fear, but I cannot do that in my own strength.
