Job 9:26-31 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

26. They sweep by like boats made of papyrus,like an eagle swooping down on its prey.

27. If I said, “I will forget my complaint,change my expression, and smile,”

28. I would still live in terror of all my pains. I know You will not acquit me.

29. Since I will be found guilty, why should I labor in vain?

30. If I wash myself with snow,and cleanse my hands with lye,

31. then You dip me in a pit of mud,and my own clothes despise me!
