Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:28 - I quake in all my limbs, for I know that thou wilt not leave me alone as innocent.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:30 - For if I should wash myself with snow, and purge myself with pure hands,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:31 - thou hadst thoroughly plunged me in filth, and my garment had abhorred me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:32 - For thou art not man like me, with whom I could contend, that we might come together to judgment.
