Bible verse
If I were to say, ‘I will forget my complaint and change my expression and smile,’
Job 9:27 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 9.
23 When the scourge brings sudden death, He mocks the despair of the innocent.
24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; He blindfolds its judges. If it is not He, then who is it?
25 My days are swifter than a runner; they flee without seeing good.
26 They sweep by like boats of papyrus, like an eagle swooping down on its prey.
27 If I were to say, ‘I will forget my complaint and change my expression and smile,’
28 I would still dread all my sufferings; I know that You will not acquit me.
29 Since I am already found guilty, why should I labor in vain?
30 If I should wash myself with snow and cleanse my hands with lye,
31 then You would plunge me into the pit, and even my own clothes would despise me.
