King James Version (KJV)

Job 9:27

“If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort [myself]:”

Verse in context — Job 9

Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good.

They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle [that] hasteth to the prey.

If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort [myself]:

I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.

[If] I be wicked, why then labour I in vain?

A poetic exploration of suffering, faith, and God’s sovereignty.
