Job 9:14-20
Evangelical Heritage Version
Job 9:14-20
Evangelical Heritage Version
14 How much less, then, will I be able to answer him?
I want to match words with him,
15 but even if I am in the right, I cannot answer him.
I can only plead to my judge for grace.
16 If I called and he responded to me,
I do not believe that he would listen to my voice.
17 With a violent storm he would crush me,
and he would inflict many wounds on me for no reason.
18 He would not allow me to catch my breath.
Instead, he would fill me with bitter experiences.
19 If it is a question of strength, he definitely is the strong one.
If it is a question of jurisdiction, who can summon him?[a]
20 Even if I am righteous, my mouth would still condemn me.
If I am blameless, it would pronounce me crooked.
