Brenton's Septuagint (LXX) - Holy Name KJV

 9:1 ¶ Then Job answered and said,

 9:1 ¶ Then Jobº answeredºº and said,ºº

 9:2 I know of a truth that it is so: for how shall a mortal man be just before the Lord?

 9:2 I knowºº [it is] soºº of a truth:º but howº should manº be justºº withº El?º

 9:3 For if he would enter into judgment with him, [God] would not hearken to him, so that he should answer to one of his charges of a thousand.

 9:3 Ifº he willºº contendºº withº him, he cannotº answerºº him oneº ofº a thousand.º

 9:4 For he is wise in mind, and mighty, and great: who has hardened himself against him and endured?

 9:4 [He is] wiseº in heart,º and mightyº in strength:º whoº hath hardenedºº [himself] againstº him, and hath prospered?ºº

 9:5 Who wears out the mountains, and [men] know it not: who overturns them in anger.

 9:5 Which removethºº the mountains,º and they knowºº not:º whichº overturnethºº them in his anger.º

 9:6 Who shakes the [earth] under heaven from its foundations, and its pillars totter.

 9:6 Which shakethºº the earthº out of her place,ºº and the pillarsº thereof tremble.ºº

 9:7 Who commands the sun, and it rises not; and he seals up the stars.

 9:7 Which commandethºº the sun,º and it risethºº not;º and sealeth upºº the stars.º

 9:8 Who alone has stretched out the heavens, and walks on the sea as on firm ground.

 9:8 Which aloneº spreadeth outºº the heavens,º and treadethºº uponº the wavesº of the sea.º

 9:9 Who makes Pleias, and Hesperus, and Arcturus, and the chambers of the south.

 9:9 Which makethºº Arcturus,º Orion,º and Pleiades,º and the chambersº of the south.º

 9:10 Who does great and unsearchable things; glorious also and excellent things, innumerable.

 9:10 Which doethºº great thingsº pastºº finding out;º yea, and wondersºº withoutºº number.º

 9:11 If ever he should go beyond me, I shall not see him: if he should pass by me, neither thus have I known [it].

 9:11 Lo,º he goethºº byº me, and I seeºº [him] not:º he passeth onºº also, but I perceiveºº him not.º

 9:12 If he would take away, who shall turn him back? or who shall say to him, What hast thou done?

 9:12 Behold,º he taketh away,ºº whoº can hinderºº him? whoº will sayºº untoº him, Whatº doestºº thou?

 9:13 For [if] he has turned away [his] anger, the whales under heaven have stooped under him.

 9:13 [If] Eloahº will notº withdrawºº his anger,º the proudºº helpersºº do stoopºº underº him.

 9:14 Oh then that he would hearken to me, or judge my cause.

 9:14 How much lessºº shall Iº answerºº him, [and] choose outºº my wordsº [to reason] withº him?

 9:15 For though I be righteous, he will not hearken to me: I will intreat his judgment.

 9:15 Whom,º thoughº I were righteous,ºº [yet] would I notº answer,ºº [but] I would make supplicationºº to my judge.ºº

 9:16 And if I should call and he should not hearken, I cannot believe that he has listened to my voice.

 9:16 Ifº I had called,ºº and he had answeredºº me; [yet] would I notº believeºº thatº he had hearkenedºº unto my voice.º

 9:17 Let him not crush me with a dark storm: but he has made by bruises many without cause.

 9:17 Forº he breakethºº me with a tempest,º and multipliethºº my woundsº without cause.º

 9:18 For he suffers me not to take breath, but he has filled me with bitterness.

 9:18 He will notº sufferºº me to takeºº my breath,º butº fillethºº me with bitterness.º

 9:19 For indeed he is strong in power: who then shall resist his judgment?

 9:19 Ifº [I speak] of strength,º lo,º [he is] strong:º and ifº of judgment,º whoº shall setºº me a timeº [to plead]?

 9:20 For though I should seem righteous, my mouth will be profane: and though I should seem blameless, I shall be proved perverse.

 9:20 Ifº I justifyºº myself, mine own mouthº shall condemnºº me: [if I say], Iº [am] perfect,º it shall also prove me perverse.ºº

 9:21 For even if I have sinned, I know it not [in] my soul: but my life is taken away.

 9:21 [Though] Iº [were] perfect,º [yet] would I notº knowºº my soul:º I would despiseºº my life.º

 9:22 Wherefore I said, Wrath slays the great and mighty man.

 9:22 Thisº [is] oneº [thing], thereforeºº I saidºº [it], Heº destroyethºº the perfectº and the wicked.º

 9:23 For the worthless die, but the righteous are laughed to scorn.

 9:23 Ifº the scourgeº slayºº suddenly,º he will laughºº at the trialº of the innocent.º

 9:24 For they are delivered into the hands of the unrighteous [man]: he covers the faces of the judges [of the earth]: but if it be not he, who is it?

 9:24 The earthº is givenºº into the handº of the wicked:º he coverethºº the facesº of the judgesºº thereof; ifº not,º where,º [and] whoº [is] he?º

 9:25 But my life is swifter than a post: [my days] have fled away, and they knew it not.

 9:25 Now my daysº are swifterºº thanº a post:ºº they flee away,ºº they seeºº noº good.º

 9:26 Or again, is there a trace of [their] path [left] by ships? or is there one of the flying eagle as it seeks [its] prey?

 9:26 They are passed awayºº asº the swiftº ships:º as the eagleº [that] hastethºº toº the prey.º

 9:27 And if I should say, I will forget to speak, I will bow down my face and groan;

 9:27 Ifº I say,ºº I will forgetºº my complaint,º I will leave offºº my heaviness,º and comfortºº [myself]:

 9:28 I quake in all my limbs, for I know that thou wilt not leave me alone [as] innocent.

 9:28 I am afraidºº of allº my sorrows,º I knowºº thatº thou wilt notº hold me innocent.ºº

 9:29 But since I am ungodly, why have I not died?

 9:29 [If] Iº be wicked,ºº whyº thenº labourºº I in vain?º

 9:30 For if I should wash myself with snow, and purge myself with pure hands,

 9:30 Ifº I washºº myselfº withº snowº water,ºº and make my handsº neverººº so clean;ºº

 9:31 thou hadst thoroughly plunged me in filth, and my garment had abhorred me.

 9:31 Yetº shalt thou plungeºº me in the ditch,º and mine own clothesº shall abhorºº me.

 9:32 For thou art not man like me, with whom I could contend, that we might come together to judgment.

 9:32 Forº [he is] notº a man,º as Iº [am, that] I should answerºº him, [and] we should comeºº togetherº in judgment.º

 9:33 Would that [he] our mediator were [present], and a reprover, and one who should hear [the cause] between both.

 9:33 Neitherº isº thereº any daysmanºº betwixtº us, [that] might layºº his handº uponº us both.º

 9:34 Let him remove [his] rod from me, and let not his fear terrify me:

 9:34 Let him takeºº his rodº awayººº fromºº me, and let notº his fearº terrifyºº me:

 9:35 so shall I not be afraid, but I will speak: for I am not thus conscious [of guilt].

 9:35 [Then] would I speak,ºº and notº fearºº him; butº [it is] notº soº withº me.
