Job 9:27

“If I say, 'I will forget my complaint, I will put off my sad face, and cheer up;”

Verse in context — Job 9

Now my days are swifter than a runner. They flee away, they see no good,

They have passed away as the swift ships, as the eagle that swoops on the prey.

If I say, 'I will forget my complaint, I will put off my sad face, and cheer up;

I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that you will not hold me innocent.

I shall be condemned. Why then do I labor in vain?

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