Job 9:27-29

New Catholic Bible

²⁷ If I say, ‘I will forget my complaints,
    I will put on a cheerful face instead of a sad countenance,’
²⁸ I will still dread my sufferings,
    for I know that you will not hold me innocent.
²⁹ “If I am to be condemned as guilty,
    why then should I struggle in vain?
