Job 9:14-20

14How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to reason with him?

15Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer; I would make supplication to mine adversary.

16If I had called, and he had answered me; yet would I not believe that he hearkened unto my voice.

17For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.

18He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness.

19If we speak of the strength of the mighty, lo, he is there! and if of judgment, who will appoint me a time?

20Though I be righteous, mine own mouth shall condemn me: though I be perfect, it shall prove me perverse.
