Job 9:14-20

14How much less shall I answer him, choose out my words [to strive] with him?

15Whom, though I were righteous, [yet] would I not answer; I would make supplication to my judge.

16If I had called, and he had answered me, I would not believe that he hearkened to my voice, —

17He, who crusheth me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.

18He suffereth me not to take my breath, for he filleth me with bitternesses.

19Be it a question of strength, lo, [he is] strong; and be it of judgment, who will set me a time?

20If I justified myself, mine own mouth would condemn me; were I perfect, he would prove me perverse.
