Job 9:30 in context

  1. 28I am afraid of all my sorrows,
    I know that you will not hold me innocent.
  2. 29I will be condemned.
    Why then do I labor in vain?
  3. 30If I wash myself with snow,
    and cleanse my hands with lye,
  4. 31yet you will plunge me in the ditch.
    My own clothes will abhor me.
  5. 32For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him,
    that we should come together in judgment.
