Job 9:16-23

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.

21[Though] I am blameless, I do not care about myself; I despise my life.

22It is all one; therefore I say, ‘He destroys [both] the blameless and the wicked.’

23When [His] scourge kills suddenly, He mocks at the despair of the innocent.
