Job 5:8-9 - Compare All Versions

“But if I were you, I would appeal to God; I would lay my cause before him. He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted.

“As for me, I would seek God, and to God would I commit my cause, who does great things and unsearchable, marvelous things without number

“If I were you, I would go to God and present my case to him. He does great things too marvelous to understand. He performs countless miracles.

However, if I were you, I would appeal to God and would present my case to him.  He does great  and unsearchable things, wonders without number.

I would seek unto God, And unto God would I commit my cause: Which doeth great things and unsearchable; Marvellous things without number

“But as for me, I would seek God, And to God I would commit my cause— Who does great things, and unsearchable, Marvelous things without number.

“If I were in your shoes, I’d go straight to God, I’d throw myself on the mercy of God. After all, he’s famous for great and unexpected acts; there’s no end to his surprises. He gives rain, for instance, across the wide earth, sends water to irrigate the fields. He raises up the down-and-out, gives firm footing to those sinking in grief. He aborts the schemes of conniving crooks, so that none of their plots come to term. He catches the know-it-alls in their conspiracies— all that intricate intrigue swept out with the trash! Suddenly they’re disoriented, plunged into darkness; they can’t see to put one foot in front of the other. But the downtrodden are saved by God, saved from the murderous plots, saved from the iron fist. And so the poor continue to hope, while injustice is bound and gagged.

¶“But as for me, I would seek God, And I would make my plea before God, Who does great and unsearchable things, Wonders without number.

¶“As for me, I would seek God and inquire of Him, And I would commit my cause to God; Who does great and unsearchable things, Marvelous things without number.

“But as for me, I would seek God, and to God I would set forth my case. He does great and unsearchable things, marvelous things without number
