New Testament

Job 9:28-35 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

28. But I will still dread all my suffering.I know you will hold me guilty.

29. I have already been found guilty.So why should I struggle for no reason?

30. I might wash myself with soap.And I might even wash my hands with strong soap.

31. But you would push me into a dirty pit.And even my clothes would hate me.

32. “God is not a man like me. So I cannot answer him.We cannot meet each other in court.

33. I wish there was someone to make peace between us.I wish someone could decide our case.

34. I wish someone could remove God’s punishment from me.Then his terror would not frighten me anymore.

35. Then I could speak up without being afraid of God.But I am not able to do that.
