Job 9:26-29 Common English Bible (CEB)

26. They sweep by like ships made of reeds,as an eagle swoops on prey.

27. If I say, "I’ll forget my lament,put on a different face so I can smile,"

28. I’m still afraid of all my suffering;I know that you won’t declare me innocent.

29. I myself am thought guilty;why have I tried so hard in vain?
