Job 9:16-23

16If I had calledH7121, and he had answeredH6030 me; yet would I not believeH539 that he had hearkenedH238 unto my voiceH6963.

17For he breakethH7779 me with a tempestH8183, and multipliethH7235 my woundsH6482 without causeH2600.

18He will not sufferH5414 me to takeH7725 my breathH7307, but fillethH7646 me with bitternessH4472.

19If I speak of strengthH3581, lo, he is strongH533: and if of judgmentH4941, who shall setH3259 me a time to plead?

20If I justifyH6663 myself, mine own mouthH6310 shall condemnH7561 me: if I say, I am perfectH8535, it shall also prove me perverseH6140.

21Though I were perfectH8535, yet would I not knowH3045 my soulH5315: I would despiseH3988 my lifeH2416.

22This is oneH259 thing, therefore I saidH559 it, He destroyethH3615 the perfectH8535 and the wickedH7563.

23If the scourgeH7752 slayH4191 suddenlyH6597, he will laughH3932 at the trialH4531 of the innocentH5355.
