Job 9:27

Job 9:27

Compare all

25 “Now ^amy days are swifter than a runner;
They flee away, they see no good.

26 They pass by like¹ swift ships,
^aLike an eagle swooping on its prey.

27 ^aIf I say, ‘I will forget my complaint,
I will put off my sad face and wear a smile,’

28 ^aI am afraid of all my sufferings;
I know that You ^bwill not hold me innocent.

29 If I am condemned,
Why then do I labor in vain?

<< Job 9:26

Job 9:28 >>

I will forget my complaint - I will forsake or forego my complaining. I will leave off my heaviness. Vulgate, I will change my countenance - force myself to smile, and endeavor to assume the appearance of comfort.

<< Job 9:26
