Job 9:16-23

16IfH518 I summoned HimH7121 and He answered meH6030, I do notH3808 believeH539 He would listenH238 to my voiceH6963.17ForH834 He would crush meH7779 with a tempestH8183 and multiplyH7235 my woundsH6482 without causeH2600.18He does notH3808 let meH5414 catchH7725 my breathH7307, butH3588 overwhelms meH7646 with bitternessH4472.19IfH518 it is a matter of strengthH3581, He is indeedH2009 mightyH533! IfH518 it is a matter of justiceH4941, whoH4310 can summon HimH32591?20Even ifH518 I were righteousH6663, my mouthH6310 would condemn meH7561; if IH589 were blamelessH8535, it would declare me guiltyH6140.2

21Though IH589 am blamelessH8535, I have noH3808 concernH3045 for myselfH5315;I despiseH3988 my own lifeH2416.22ItH1931 is all the sameH259, and soH5921H3651 I sayH559,‘HeH1931 destroysH3615 both the blamelessH8535 and the wickedH7563.’23WhenH518 the scourgeH7752 brings suddenH6597 deathH4191,He mocksH3932 the despairH4531 of the innocentH5355.
