Job 9:14-20

14“How then can I answer Him, And choose my words to reason with Him?

15For though I were righteous, I could not answer Him; I would beg mercy of my Judge.

16If I called and He answered me, I would not believe that He was listening to my voice.

17For He crushes me with a tempest, And multiplies my wounds without cause.

18He will not allow me to catch my breath, But fills me with bitterness.

19If it is a matter of strength, indeed He is strong; And if of justice, who will appoint my day in court?

20Though I were righteous, my own mouth would condemn me; Though I were blameless, it would prove me perverse.
