Job 9:26-28

New International Reader's Version

²⁶ They speed along like papyrus boats.
    They are like eagles swooping down on their food.
²⁷ Suppose I say, ‘I’ll forget about all my problems.
    I’ll change my frown into a smile.’
²⁸ Then I’d still be afraid I’d go on suffering.
    That’s because I know you would say
    I had done something wrong.
