Job 9:26 Context
24The earth is giuen into the hand of the wicked: he couereth the faces of the Iudges thereof; if not, where, and who is hee? 25Now my dayes are swifter then a Poste: they flee away, they see no good. 26They are passed away as the ships: as the Eagle that hasteth to the pray. 27If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leaue off my heauinesse, and comfort my selfe. 28I am afraid of all my sorrowes, I know that thou wilt not holde me innocent.
