Job 9:14-20

World English Bible

¹⁴ How much less will I answer him,
    And choose my words to argue with him?
¹⁵ Though I were righteous, yet I wouldn’t answer him.
    I would make supplication to my judge.
¹⁶ If I had called, and he had answered me,
    yet I wouldn’t believe that he listened to my voice.
¹⁷ For he breaks me with a storm,
    and multiplies my wounds without cause.
¹⁸ He will not allow me to catch my breath,
    but fills me with bitterness.
¹⁹ If it is a matter of strength, behold, he is mighty!
    If of justice, ‘Who,’ says he, ‘will summon me?’
²⁰ Though I am righteous, my own mouth will condemn me.
    Though I am blameless, it will prove me perverse.
