Job Says There Is No Arbitrator between God and Man

9Then Job answered,H347H6030H5592"In truth I know that this is so, But how can a man be in the right before God?H3045H551H582H6663H4103"If one wished to dispute with Him, He could not answer Him once in a thousand [times.]H2654H7378H6030H259H5054"Wise in heart and mighty in strength, Who has defied Him without harm?H2450H3824H533H3581H7185H79995"[It is God] who removes the mountains, they know not [how,] When He overturns them in His anger;H6275H2022H3045H2015H6396Who shakes the earth out of its place, And its pillars tremble;H7264H776H4725H5982H64267Who commands the sun not to shine, And sets a seal upon the stars;H559H2775H2224H2856H35568Who alone stretches out the heavens, And tramples down the waves of the sea;H5186H8064H1869H1116H32209Who makes the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, And the chambers of the south;H6213H5906H3685H3598H2315H848610Who does great things, unfathomable, And wondrous works without number.H6213H1419H369H2714H6381H455711"Were He to pass by me, I would not see Him; Were He to move past [ me,] I would not perceive Him.H5674H7200H2498H99512"Were He to snatch away, who could restrain Him? Who could say to Him, 'What art Thou doing?'H2862H7725H559H621313"God will not turn back His anger; Beneath Him crouch the helpers of Rahab.H433H7725H639H7293H5826H781714"How then can I answer Him, [And] choose my words before Him?H6030H977H169715"For though I were right, I could not answer; I would have to implore the mercy of my judge.H6663H6030H2603H819916"If I called and He answered me, I could not believe that He was listening to my voice.H7121H6030H539H238H696317"For He bruises me with a tempest, And multiplies my wounds without cause.H7779H8183H7235H6482H260018"He will not allow me to get my breath, But saturates me with bitterness.H5414H7725H7307H7646H447219"If [it is a matter] of power, behold, [He is] the strong one! And if [it is a matter] of justice, who can summon Him?H3581H533H4941H325920"Though I am righteous, my mouth will condemn me; Though I am guiltless, He will declare me guilty.H6663H6310H7561H8535H614021"I am guiltless; I do not take notice of myself; I despise my life.H8535H3045H5315H3988H241622"It is [all] one; therefore I say, 'He destroys the guiltless and the wicked.'H259H559H3615H8535H756323"If the scourge kills suddenly, He mocks the despair of the innocent.H7752H4191H6597H3932H4531H535524"The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; He covers the faces of its judges. If [it is] not [He,] then who is it?H776H5414H3027H7563H3680H6440H8199H64525"Now my days are swifter than a runner; They flee away, they see no good.H3117H7043H7323H1272H7200H289626"They slip by like reed boats, Like an eagle that swoops on its prey.H2498H5973H16H591H5404H2907H40027"Though I say, 'I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my [sad] countenance and be cheerful,'H559H7911H7879H5800H6440H108228I am afraid of all my pains, I know that Thou wilt not acquit me.H3025H6094H3045H535229"I am accounted wicked, Why then should I toil in vain?H7561H3021H189230"If I should wash myself with snow And cleanse my hands with lye,H7364H7950H4325H1119H3709H1252H1253H214131Yet Thou wouldst plunge me into the pit, And my own clothes would abhor me.H227H2881H7845H8008H858132"For [He is] not a man as I am that I may answer Him, That we may go to court together.H376H6030H935H3162H494133"There is no umpire between us, Who may lay his hand upon us both.H3426H3198H7896H3027H814734"Let Him remove His rod from me, And let not dread of Him terrify me.H5493H7626H5493H367H120435"[Then] I would speak and not fear Him; But I am not like that in myself.H1696H3372

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
