Job 9:24-32 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

24. And who else but Godblindfolds the judges,then lets the wickedtake over the earth?

25. My life is speeding by,without a hope of happiness.

26. Each day passes swifterthan a sailing shipor an eagle swooping down.

27. Sometimes I try to be cheerfuland to stop complaining,

28. but my sufferings frighten me,because I know that Godstill considers me guilty.

29. So what's the use of tryingto prove my innocence?

30. Even if I washed myselfwith the strongest soap,

31. God would throw me into a pitof stinking slime, leaving medisgusting to my clothes.

32. God isn't a mere human like me.I can't put him on trial.
