Job 9:25-28 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

25. "God, my days race by like a runner. They fly away without seeing any joy.

26. They speed along like papyrus boats. They are like eagles swooping down on their food.

27. Suppose I say, 'I'll forget about all of my problems. I'll change my frown into a smile.'

28. Then I'd still be afraid I'd go on suffering. That's because I know you would say I had done something wrong.
