Job 9:31–35 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

35 Then I would speak without fear of Him. But as it is, I am on my own.
