"If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will put off my sad countenance, and be of good cheer; "
— Job 9:27, American Standard Version
“If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort myself:”
“If I say, 'I will forget my complaint, I will put off my sad face, and cheer up;'”
“If I say,‘I will forget my complaint, I will change my expression and be cheerful,’”
“If I say: I will not speak so: I change my face, and am tormented with sorrow.”
“If I say, I will put my grief out of mind, I will let my face be sad no longer and I will be bright;”
“If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort myself:”
The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; He covereth the faces of the judges thereof: Ifit benothe, who then is it?
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 swoopeth on the prey.
If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will put off my sad countenance, and be of good cheer;
I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.
I shall be condemned; Why then do I labor in vain?
If I wash myself with snow water, And make my hands never so clean;
