Job 9:28-32
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 9
28I am afraid of all my pains, I know that You will not acquit me. 29I am guilty, Why then should I struggle in vain? 30If I washed myself with snow, And cleansed my hands with lye, 31Then You would plunge me into the pit, And my own clothes would loathe me. 32For He is not a man, as I am, that I may answer Him— That we may go to court together!King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
New Living Translation
Chapter 9
28I would still dread all the pain, for I know you will not find me innocent, O God. 29Whatever happens, I will be found guilty. So what’s the use of trying? 30Even if I were to wash myself with soap and clean my hands with lye, 31you would plunge me into a muddy ditch, and my own filthy clothing would hate me.English Standard Version
Chapter 9
28I become afraid of all my suffering, for I know you will not hold me innocent. 29I shall be condemned; why then do I labor in vain? 30If I wash myself with snow and cleanse my hands with lye, 31yet you will plunge me into a pit, and my own clothes will abhor me. 32For he is not a man, as I am, that I might answer him, that we should come to trial together.New International Version
