Job 9:32

Read in context

Job 9:30–34 · Berean Standard Bible

30 If I should wash myself with snow and cleanse my hands with lye,

31 then You would plunge me into the pit, and even my own clothes would despise me.

32 For He is not a man like me, that I can answer Him, that we can take each other to court.

33 Nor is there a mediator between us, to lay his hand upon us both.

34 Let Him remove His rod from me, so that His terror will no longer frighten me.
