THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE

Job 9:28 in context

Job 9:25–31

25

“Now my days are swifter than a runner.

They flee away. They see no good.

26

They have passed away as the swift ships,

as the eagle that swoops on the prey.

27

If I say, ‘I will forget my complaint,

I will put off my sad face, and cheer up,’

28
Selected verse

I am afraid of all my sorrows.

I know that you will not hold me innocent.

29

I will be condemned.

Why then do I labor in vain?

30

If I wash myself with snow,

and cleanse my hands with lye,

31

yet you will plunge me in the ditch.

My own clothes will abhor me.
