kjv@Job:9:1 @ Then Job answered and said,

kjv@Job:9:2 @ I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?

kjv@Job:9:3 @ If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.

kjv@Job:9:4 @ He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered?

kjv@Job:9:5 @ Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger.

kjv@Job:9:6 @ Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.

kjv@Job:9:7 @ Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars.

kjv@Job:9:8 @ Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.

kjv@Job:9:9 @ Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south.

kjv@Job:9:10 @ Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number.

kjv@Job:9:11 @ Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not.

kjv@Job:9:12 @ Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou?

kjv@Job:9:13 @ If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him.

kjv@Job:9:14 @ How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to reason with him?

kjv@Job:9:15 @ Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I would make supplication to my judge.

kjv@Job:9:16 @ If I had called, and he had answered me; yet would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice.

kjv@Job:9:17 @ For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.

kjv@Job:9:18 @ He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness.

kjv@Job:9:19 @ If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead?

kjv@Job:9:20 @ If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.

kjv@Job:9:21 @ Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would despise my life.

kjv@Job:9:22 @ This is one thing, therefore I said it, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.

kjv@Job:9:23 @ If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent.

kjv@Job:9:24 @ The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he?

kjv@Job:9:25 @ Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good.

kjv@Job:9:26 @ They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle that hasteth to the prey.

kjv@Job:9:27 @ If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort myself:

kjv@Job:9:28 @ I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.

kjv@Job:9:29 @ If I be wicked, why then labour I in vain?

kjv@Job:9:30 @ If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean;

kjv@Job:9:31 @ Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me.

kjv@Job:9:32 @ For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment.

kjv@Job:9:33 @ Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both.

kjv@Job:9:34 @ Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me:

kjv@Job:9:35 @ Then would I speak, and not fear him; but it is not so with me.

bible Job:9 -

kjv@Job:9:17 > > RandyP :

It is not true that this circumstance multiplies without cause, it is that Job and his friends do not yet know the cause. Even if they knew the cause, like us reading this, they may not understand the cause still. The cause is for God to know and for us to trust His judgement.

kjv@Job:9:22 > > RandyP :

What does Job mean by destroy? He has not been destroyed. If it has been appointed for all men to die, if naked we come into and leave this life, if the possessions of this world only rust and rot away, what has been destroyed but our false notions and expectations? Being temporarily emptied is not the same as being destroyed. God has spared Job's life and has His purposes for such. Why isn't that the focus?

kjv@Job:9 > > RandyP :

Deep depression brings a sense of profound thought that may not actually be there. The patient's mind is busily thinking even as others are answering him, consuming itself in what it thinks is profound. He thinks that he is on the brink of something big if he can just follow it through. It is not that he doesn't appreciate the counsel of others, he just can't silence his thoughts enough to listen because of the intrigue of this sudden perceived depth of thought. The perception is addictive. Rarely is the pursuit he makes anything more than the depression tangling and coiling itself further.
