"For even I would not answer a man who were like myself, nor one who could be heard with me equally in judgment. "
— Job 9:32, Catholic Public Domain Version
“For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment.”
“For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, That we should come together in judgment. ”
“For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, that we should come together in judgment.”
“For he is not a human being like I am, that I might answer him, that we might come together in judgment.”
“For I shall not answer a man that is like myself: nor one that may be heard with me equally in judgment.”
“For he is not a man as I am, that I might give him an answer, that we might come together before a judge.”
“For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment.”
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.
For even I would not answer a man who were like myself, nor one who could be heard with me equally in judgment.
There is no one who could both prevail in argument and in placing his hand between the two.
Let him take his staff away from me, and let not the fear of him terrify me.
I will speak and I will not fear him, for in fearfulness I am not able to respond.
