Job 9:14-20

14“How then can I dispute with him? How can I find words to argue with him?

15Though I were innocent, I could not answer him; I could only plead with my Judge for mercy.

16Even if I summoned him and he responded, I do not believe he would give me a hearing.

17He would crush me with a storm and multiply my wounds for no reason.

18He would not let me catch my breath but would overwhelm me with misery.

19If it is a matter of strength, he is mighty! And if it is a matter of justice, who can challenge him?

20Even if I were innocent, my mouth would condemn me; if I were blameless, it would pronounce me guilty.
