18:008:017 His roots are wrapped about the heap, and
seeth the place of
stones.
18:008:018 If he destroy him from his place, then
it shall deny him,
saying,
I have not seen thee.
18:008:019 Behold, this is the joy of his way, and
out of the earth shall
others
grow.
18:008:020 Behold, God will not cast away a perfect
man, neither will he
help
the evil doers:
18:008:021 Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and
thy lips with
rejoicing.
18:008:022 They that hate thee shall be clothed with
shame; and the
dwelling
place of the wicked shall come to nought.
18:009:001 Then Job answered and said,
18:009:002 I know it is so of a truth: but how
should man be just with
God?
18:009:003 If he will contend with him, he cannot
answer him one of a
thousand.
18:009:004 He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength:
who hath hardened
himself
against him, and hath prospered?
18:009:005 Which removeth the mountains, and they
know not: which
overturneth
them in his anger.
18:009:006 Which shaketh the earth out of her place,
and the pillars
thereof
tremble.
18:009:007 Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth
not; and sealeth up
the
stars.
18:009:008 Which alone spreadeth out the heavens,
and treadeth upon the
waves
of the sea.
18:009:009 Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades,
and the chambers
of
the south.
18:009:010 Which doeth great things past finding out;
yea, and wonders
without
number.
18:009:011 Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not:
he passeth on also, but
I
perceive him not.
18:009:012 Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder
him? who will say unto
him,
What doest thou?
18:009:013 If God will not withdraw his anger, the
proud helpers do stoop
under
him.
18:009:014 How much less shall I answer him, and choose
out my words to
reason
with him?
18:009:015 Whom, though I were righteous, yet would
I not answer, but I
would
make supplication to my judge.
18:009:016 If I had called, and he had answered me;
yet would I not
believe
that he had hearkened unto my voice.
18:009:017 For he breaketh me with a tempest, and
multiplieth my wounds
without
cause.
18:009:018 He will not suffer me to take my breath,
but filleth me with
bitterness.
18:009:019 If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong:
and if of judgment,
who
shall set me a time to plead?
18:009:020 If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall
condemn me: if I
say,
I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.
