9Yes, I've heard all that before.H347H6030H559

2But how can a human being win a case against God?H3045H551H582H6663H410

3How can anyone argue with him? He can ask a thousand questions that no one could ever answer.H2654H7378H6030H259H505

4God is so wise and powerful; no one can stand up against him.H2450H3824H533H3581H7185H7999

5Without warning he moves mountains and in anger he destroys them.H6275H2022H3045H2015H639

6God sends earthquakes and shakes the ground; he rocks the pillars that support the earth.H7264H776H4725H5982H6426

7He can keep the sun from rising, and the stars from shining at night.H559H2775H2224H2856H3556

8No one helped God spread out the heavens or trample the sea monster's back.H5186H8064H1869H1116H3220

9God hung the stars in the sky - the Dipper, Orion, the Pleiades, and the stars of the south.H6213H5906H3685H3598H2315H8486

10We cannot understand the great things he does, and to his miracles there is no end.H6213H1419H369H2714H6381H4557

11God passes by, but I cannot see him.H5674H7200H2498H995

12He takes what he wants, and no one can stop him; no one dares ask him, "What are you doing?"H2862H7725H559H6213

13God's anger is constant. He crushed his enemies who helped Rahab, the sea monster, oppose him.H433H7725H639H7293H5826H7817

14So how can I find words to answer God?H6030H977H1697

15Though I am innocent, all I can do is beg for mercy from God my judge.H6663H6030H2603H8199

16Yet even then, if he lets me speak, I can't believe he would listen to me.H7121H6030H539H238H6963

17He sends storms to batter and bruise me without any reason at all.H7779H8183H7235H6482H2600

18He won't let me catch my breath; he has filled my life with bitterness.H5414H7725H7307H7646H4472

19Should I try force? Try force on God? Should I take him to court? Could anyone make him go?H3581H533H4941H3259

20I am innocent and faithful, but my words sound guilty, and everything I say seems to condemn me.H6663H6310H7561H8535H6140

21I am innocent, but I no longer care. I am sick of living.H8535H3045H5315H3988H2416

22Nothing matters; innocent or guilty, God will destroy us.H259H559H3615H8535H7563

23When an innocent person suddenly dies, God laughs.H7752H4191H6597H3932H4531H5355

24God gave the world to the wicked. He made all the judges blind. And if God didn't do it, who did?H776H5414H3027H7563H3680H6440H8199H645

25My days race by, not one of them good.H3117H7043H7323H1272H7200H2896

26My life passes like the swiftest boat, as fast as an eagle swooping down on a rabbit.H2498H5973H16H591H5404H2907H400

27If I smile and try to forget my pain, all my suffering comes back to haunt me;H559H7911H7879H5800H6440H1082

28I know that God does hold me guilty.H3025H6094H3045H5352

29Since I am held guilty, why should I bother?H7561H3021H1892

30No soap can wash away my sins.H7364H7950H4325H1119H3709H1252H1253H2141

31God throws me into a pit with filth, and even my clothes are ashamed of me.H227H2881H7845H8008H8581

32If God were human, I could answer him; we could go to court to decide our quarrel.H376H6030H935H3162H4941

33But there is no one to step between us - no one to judge both God and me.H3426H3198H7896H3027H8147

34Stop punishing me, God! Keep your terrors away!H5493H7626H5493H367H1204

35I am not afraid. I am going to talk because I know my own heart.H1696H3372
