Job 9:14-20

14How can I answer Him [and plead my case], Choosing my words [to reason] with Him?

15For though I were righteous, I could not answer. I must appeal for mercy to my Opponent and Judge.

16If I called and He answered me, I could not believe that He was listening to my voice.

17For He bruises me with a tempest And multiplies my wounds without cause.

18He will not allow me to catch my breath, But fills and saturates me with bitterness.

19If it is a matter of strength and power, behold, He is mighty! And if of justice, who can summon and challenge Him?

20Though I am innocent and in the right, my own mouth would pronounce me guilty; Though I am blameless, He would denounce me as guilty.
