Job
9 / KJV Bible
1. Then Job answered and said,
2. I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?
3. If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.
4. He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered?
5. Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger.
6. Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.
7. Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars.
8. Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.
9. Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south.
10. Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number.
11. Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not.
12. Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou?
13. If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him.
14. How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to reason with him?
15. Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I would make supplication to my judge.
16. If I had called, and he had answered me; yet would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice.
17. For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.
18. He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness.
19. If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead?
20. If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.
21. Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would despise my life.
22. This is one thing, therefore I said it, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.
23. If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent.
24. The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he?
25. Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good.
26. They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle that hasteth to the prey.
27. If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort myself:
28. I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.
29. If I be wicked, why then labour I in vain?
30. If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean;
31. Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me.
32. For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment.
33. Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both.
34. Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me:
35. Then would I speak, and not fear him; but it is not so with me.

10 / KJV Bible
1. My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2. I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou contendest with me.
3. Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?
4. Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth?
5. Are thy days as the days of man? are thy years as man's days,
6. That thou inquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sin?
7. Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of thine hand.
8. Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about; yet thou dost destroy me.
9. Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again?
10. Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?
11. Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews.
12. Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.
13. And these things hast thou hid in thine heart: I know that this is with thee.
14. If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.
15. If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see thou mine affliction;
16. For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me.
17. Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me; changes and war are against me.
18. Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!
19. I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
20. Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,
21. Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;
22. A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.
1. My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2. I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou contendest with me.
3. Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?

21. Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;
22. A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.
Romans
3 / KJV Bible
1. What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?
2. Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.
3. For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?
4. God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
5. But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man)
6. God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?
7. For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
8. And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.
9. What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;
10. As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
11. There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
12. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
13. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
14. Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
15. Their feet are swift to shed blood:
16. Destruction and misery are in their ways:
17. And the way of peace have they not known:
18. There is no fear of God before their eyes.
19. Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
20. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
21. But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22. Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24. Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25. Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26. To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
27. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
28. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
29. Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
30. Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
31. Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
