Chapter 9.

00:01.820 --> 00:03.460
Then Job answered and said,

01:00.960 --> 01:05.860
If God will not withdraw His anger,
the proud helpers do stoop under Him.

01:06.760 --> 01:11.480
How much less shall I answer Him,
and choose out my words to reason with

01:11.480 --> 01:11.720
Him?

01:12.840 --> 01:17.700
Whom, though I were righteous,
yet would I not answer, but I would make

01:17.700 --> 01:19.180
supplication to my Judge.

01:20.040 --> 01:24.700
If I had called, and He had answered me,
yet would I not believe that He had

01:24.700 --> 01:26.020
hearkened unto my voice.

01:26.020 --> 01:30.560
For He breaketh me with the tempest,
and multiplieth my wounds without cause.

01:31.240 --> 01:34.580
He will not suffer me to take my breath,
but filleth me with bitterness.

01:35.140 --> 01:38.420
If I speak of strength, lo, He is strong.

01:39.020 --> 01:42.620
And if of judgment, who shall set me a
time to plead?

01:43.140 --> 01:47.320
If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall
condemn me.

01:47.900 --> 01:51.680
If I say I am perfect, it shall also prove
me perverse.

01:51.680 --> 01:57.860
Though I were perfect, yet would I not
know my soul, I would despise my life.

01:58.640 --> 02:00.540
This is one thing, therefore I said it.

02:01.420 --> 02:04.040
He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.

02:05.160 --> 02:08.620
If the scourge slay suddenly, He will
laugh at the trial of the innocent.

02:09.940 --> 02:12.080
The earth is given into the hand of the
wicked.

02:12.480 --> 02:14.980
He covereth the faces of the judges
thereof.

02:15.580 --> 02:17.740
If not where, and who is He?

02:18.700 --> 02:21.040
Now my days are swifter than a post.

02:21.040 --> 02:23.300
They flee away, they see no good.

02:24.240 --> 02:29.660
They are passed away as the swift ships,
as the eagle that hasteth to the prey.

02:30.660 --> 02:35.160
If I say I will forget my complaint,
I will leave off my heaviness and comfort

02:35.160 --> 02:35.660
myself.

02:36.260 --> 02:38.300
I am afraid of all my sorrows.

02:38.780 --> 02:41.200
I know that Thou wilt not hold me
innocent.

02:41.920 --> 02:45.140
If I be wicked, why then labour I in vain?

02:45.780 --> 02:50.680
If I wash myself with snow water and make
my hands never so clean, yet shalt Thou

02:50.680 --> 02:54.060
plunge me in the ditch, and mine own
clothes shall abhor me.

02:54.740 --> 02:58.920
For he is not a man as I am, that I should
answer him, and we should come together in

02:58.920 --> 02:59.300
judgment.

03:00.300 --> 03:04.380
Neither is there any dazeman betwixt us
that might lay his hand upon us both.

03:05.240 --> 03:08.720
Let him take his rod away from me,
and let not his fear terrify me.

03:09.560 --> 03:11.540
Then would I speak, and not fear him.

03:12.420 --> 03:14.140
But it is not so with me.
