Holy Scripture

Job 9:29

A church father on this verse
“"If I am ungodly, why have I not died?" You see how he does not deny being a sinner. "Why have I not died?" he says. This is not the expression of a man who accuses but who searches.”
John Chrysostom, 5th c. — COMMENTARY ON JOB 9:29-31

In context

27And if I should say, I will forget to speak, I will bow down my face and groan;

28I quake in all my limbs, For I know that thou wilt not leave me alone as innocent.

— Job 9:29 —

30For if I should wash myself with snow, And purge myself with pure hands,

31Thou hadst thoroughly plunged me in filth, And my garment had abhorred me.
