Job 9:27 Context
25Now my dayes are swifter then a Poste: they flee away, they see no good. 26They are passed away as the ships: as the Eagle that hasteth to the pray. 27If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leaue off my heauinesse, and comfort my selfe. 28I am afraid of all my sorrowes, I know that thou wilt not holde me innocent. 29If I be wicked, why then labour I in vaine?
