"I have dreaded all my works, knowing that you did not spare the offender. "
— Job 9:28, Catholic Public Domain Version
“I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.”
“I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent. ”
“I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that you will not hold me innocent.”
“I dread all my sufferings, for I know that you do not hold me blameless.”
“I feared all my works, knowing that thou didst not spare the offender.”
“I go in fear of all my pains; I am certain that I will not be free from sin in your eyes.”
“I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.”
My days have been swifter than a messenger; they have fled and have not seen goodness.
They have passed by like ships carrying fruits, just like an eagle flying to food.
If I say: “By no means will I speak this way.” I change my face and I am tortured with sorrow.
I have dreaded all my works, knowing that you did not spare the offender.
Yet, if I am also just as impious, why have I labored in vain?
If I had been washed with snow-like waters, and my hands were shining like the cleanest thing,
yet you would plunge me in filth, and my own garments would abhor me.
