Young's Literal Translation
Job, Chapter 9

   1: And Job answereth and saith: --
   2: Truly I have known that [it is] so, And what -- is man righteous with God?
   3: If he delight to strive with Him -- He doth not answer him one of a thousand.
   4: Wise in heart and strong in power -- Who hath hardened toward Him and is at peace?
   5: Who is removing mountains, And they have not known, Who hath overturned them in His anger.
   6: Who is shaking earth from its place, And its pillars move themselves.
   7: Who is speaking to the sun, and it riseth not, And the stars He sealeth up.
   8: Stretching out the heavens by Himself, And treading on the heights of the sea,
   9: Making Osh, Kesil, and Kimah, And the inner chambers of the south.
   10: Doing great things till there is no searching, And wonderful, till there is no numbering.
   11: Lo, He goeth over by me, and I see not, And He passeth on, and I attend not to it.
   12: Lo, He snatches away, who bringeth it back? Who saith unto Him, 'What dost Thou?'
   13: God doth not turn back His anger, Under Him bowed have proud helpers.
   14: How much less do I -- I answer Him? Choose out my words with Him?
   15: Whom, though I were righteous, I answer not, For my judgment I make supplication.
   16: Though I had called and He answereth me, I do not believe that He giveth ear [to] my voice.
   17: Because with a tempest He bruiseth me, And hath multiplied my wounds for nought.
   18: He permitteth me not to refresh my spirit, But filleth me with bitter things.
   19: If of power, lo, the Strong One; And if of judgment -- who doth convene me?
   20: If I be righteous, Mine mouth doth declare me wicked, Perfect I am! -- it declareth me perverse.
   21: Perfect I am! -- I know not my soul, I despise my life.
   22: It is the same thing, therefore I said, 'The perfect and the wicked He is consuming.'
   23: If a scourge doth put to death suddenly, At the trial of the innocent He laugheth.
   24: Earth hath been given Into the hand of the wicked one. The face of its judges he covereth, If not -- where, who [is] he?
   25: My days have been swifter than a runner, They have fled, they have not seen good,
   26: They have passed on with ships of reed, As an eagle darteth on food.
   27: Though I say, 'I forget my talking, I forsake my corner, and I brighten up!'
   28: I have been afraid of all my griefs, I have known that Thou dost not acquit me.
   29: I -- I am become wicked; why [is] this? [In] vain I labour.
   30: If I have washed myself with snow-water, And purified with soap my hands,
   31: Then in corruption Thou dost dip me, And my garments have abominated me.
   32: But if a man like myself -- I answer him, We come together into judgment.
   33: If there were between us an umpire, He doth place his hand on us both.
   34: He doth turn aside from off me his rod, And His terror doth not make me afraid,
   35: I speak, and do not fear Him, But I am not right with myself.
