Job 9:27-29

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

²⁷ If I say, “I will forget my complaint;
    I will put off my sad countenance and be of good cheer”,
²⁸ I become afraid of all my suffering,
    for I know you will not hold me innocent.
²⁹ I shall be condemned;
    why then do I labour in vain?
