Job 9:2–5

¹⁷Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?

¹⁷Shall mortall man be more iust then God? shall a man bee more pure then his maker?

⁴How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?

^4*How then can man bee iustified with God? or how can he be cleane that is borne of a woman?

²And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.

^2*And enter not into iudgement with thy seruant: for in thy sight shall no man liuing be iustified.

²⁰Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

²⁰Therefore by the deedes of the Law, there shall no flesh be iustified in his sight: for by the Law is the knowledge of sinne.

⁴⁶If they sin against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captives unto the land of the enemy, far or near;

⁴⁶If they sinne against thee, ( ^*for there is no man that sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliuer them to the enemy, so that they cary them away captiues, vnto the land of the enemy, farre or neere;

³And dost thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest me into judgment with thee?

⁴Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.

³And doest thou open thine eies vpon such an one, and bringest me into iudgment with thee?

^4†Who ^*can bring a cleane thing out of an vncleane? not one.

²Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.

²Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu, the sonne of Barachel the Buzite, of the kinred of Ram: against Iob was his wrath kindled, because he iustified ^†himselfe rather then God.

⁹I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me.

⁹I am cleane without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquitie in me.

⁵For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment.

⁵For Iob hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my iudgement.

³If thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

³If thou, LORD, shouldest marke iniquities: O LORD, who shal stand?

²I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou contendest with me.

²I will say vnto God, Doe not condemne mee; shewe me wherefore thou contendest with me.

²Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.

²Shall hee that contendeth with the Almightie, instruct him? he that reproueth God, let him answere it.

⁸If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

⁸If we say that we haue no sinne, we deceiue our selues, and the trueth is not in vs.

²⁰For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.

²⁰For if our heart condemne vs, God is greater then our heart, and knoweth all things.

¹⁵For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

¹⁶For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made.

¹⁵For thus saith the High and loftie One that inhabiteth eternitie, whose Name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place: with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to reuiue the spirit of the humble, and to reuiue the heart of the contrite ones.

¹⁶For I will not contend for euer, neither will I be alwayes wroth: for the spirit should faile before me, and the soules which I haue made.

³Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat!

⁴I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.

⁵I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.

⁶Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength in me.

⁷There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge.

³O that I knewe where I might find him! that I might come euen to his seate!

⁴I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.

⁵I would know the words which he would answere me, and vnderstand what he would say vnto me.

⁶Will he plead against me with his great power? No, but hee would put strength in me.

⁷There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be deliuered for euer from my Iudge.

³⁵Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire is, that the Almighty would answer me, and that mine adversary had written a book.

³⁶Surely I would take it upon my shoulder, and bind it as a crown to me.

³⁷I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince would I go near unto him.

³⁵O that one would heare me! ^‖beholde, my desire is, that the Almightie would answere me, and that mine aduersary had written a booke.

³⁶Surely I would take it vpon my shoulder, and bind it as a crowne to me.

³⁷I would declare vnto him the number of my steps, as a prince would I goe neere vnto him.

¹³Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.

¹³Why doest thou striue against him? for ^†he giueth not account of any of his matters.

²⁰If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.

²⁰If I iustifie my selfe, mine owne mouth shall condemne me: If I say, I am perfect, it shall also prooue me peruerse.

³²For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment.

³³Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both.

³²For he is not a man as I am, that I should answere him, and we should come together in iudgement.

³³Neither is there ^†any ^‖dayes-man betwixt vs, that might lay his hand vpon vs both.

¹²Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.

¹²Who can vnderstand his errours? cleanse thou me from secret faults.

¹²For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.

^12†For innumerable euils haue compassed me about, mine iniquities haue taken hold vpon me, so that I am not able to looke vp: they are moe then the haires of mine head, therefore my heart faileth me.

²⁰Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

²⁰Nay but O man, who art thou that ^‖repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, ^*Why hast thou made me thus?

¹⁴If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;

¹⁵All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust.

^14*If he set his heart ^†vpon man, if he gather vnto himselfe his spirit and his breath;

^15*All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turne againe vnto dust.

⁵Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom.

²⁰Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

²⁰Now vnto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly aboue all that wee aske or thinke, according to the power that worketh in vs,

³³O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

³³O the depth of the riches both of the wisedome and knowledge of God! how vnsearchable are his iudgements, and his wayes past finding out!

¹HE, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.

¹¶ ^†He that being often reproued, hardeneth his necke, shal suddenly be destroied, and that without remedy.

²²Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?

^20*Daniel answered and said; Blessed be the name of God for euer and euer: for wisedome and might are his:

³⁴And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation:

³⁵And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?

³⁶At the same time my reason returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, mine honour and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellers and my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added unto me.

²⁰But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him:

²¹And he was driven from the sons of men; and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses: they fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; till he knew that the most high God ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomsoever he will.

²²And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all this;

²³But hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know: and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified:
