Job 9:27-29

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁷ If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will put off my sad countenance, and be of good cheer and brighten up,

²⁸ I become afraid of all my pains and sorrows [yet to come], for I know You will not pronounce me innocent [by removing them].

²⁹ I shall be held guilty and be condemned; why then should I labor in vain [to appear innocent]?
