Job 9:16-23

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.

21“Although I am blameless, I have no concern for myself; I despise my own life.

22It is all the same; that is why I say, ‘He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.’

23When a scourge brings sudden death, he mocks the despair of the innocent.
