Job 9:32
Compare all
30 aIf I wash myself with snow water,
And cleanse my hands with1 soap, 
31 Yet You will plunge me into the pit,
And my own clothes will1 abhor me. 
32 “For aHe is not a man, as I am,
That I may answer Him,
And that we should go to court together. 
33 aNor is there any mediator between us,
Who may lay his hand on us both. 
34 aLet Him take His rod away from me,
And do not let dread of Him terrify me. 
35 Then I would speak and not fear Him,
But it is not so with me.
