Job 9:16-23

16Even if I called and He answered me, I would not believe that He would listen to my voice.

17He who crushes me with a storm and multiplies my wounds for no reason.

18He does not allow me to catch my breath, but fills me with bitterness.

19If it is a question of strength— certainly, He is the mighty One! If it is a matter of justice— who will summon me?

20Even if I were innocent, my mouth would condemn me. If I were guiltless, it will declare me perverse.

21“I am guiltless. I have no concern for myself. I despise my life.

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

23If a scourge smites suddenly, He mocks the despair of the innocent.
