Job:8:17: His roots are wrapped about the heap, and seeth the place of stones.
Job:8:18: If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen thee.
Job:8:19: Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow.
Job:8:20: Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers:
Job:8:21: Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing.
Job:8:22: They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought.
Chapter 9
Job:9:1: Then Job answered and said,
Job:9:2: I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?
Job:9:3: If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.
Job:9:4: He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered?
Job:9:5: Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger.
Job:9:6: Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.
Job:9:7: Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars.
Job:9:8: Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.
Job:9:9: Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south.
Job:9:10: Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number.
Job:9:11: Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not.
Job:9:12: Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou?
Job:9:13: If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him.
Job:9:14: How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to reason with him?
Job:9:15: Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I would make supplication to my judge.
Job:9:16: If I had called, and he had answered me; yet would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice.
Job:9:17: For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.
Job:9:18: He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness.
Job:9:19: If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead?
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.
Job:9:21: Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would despise my life.
Job:9:22: This is one thing, therefore I said it, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.
Job:9:23: If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent.
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?
Job:9:25: Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good.
