Job 9:27

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

If I were to say, ‘I will forget my complaint and change my expression and smile,’

In context

25 My days are swifter than a runner; they flee without seeing good.

26 They sweep by like boats of papyrus, like an eagle swooping down on its prey.

27 If I were to say, ‘I will forget my complaint and change my expression and smile,’

28 I would still dread all my sufferings; I know that You will not acquit me.

29 Since I am already found guilty, why should I labor in vain?
