New Testament

Job 9:29-35 New Living Translation (NLT)

29. Whatever happens, I will be found guilty.So what’s the use of trying?

30. Even if I were to wash myself with soapand clean my hands with lye,

31. you would plunge me into a muddy ditch,and my own filthy clothing would hate me.

32. “God is not a mortal like me,so I cannot argue with him or take him to trial.

33. If only there were a mediator between us,someone who could bring us together.

34. The mediator could make God stop beating me,and I would no longer live in terror of his punishment.

35. Then I could speak to him without fear,but I cannot do that in my own strength.
