Job 9:14-20

Amplified Bible

¹⁴ 
“How can I answer Him [and plead my case],
Choosing my words [to reason] with Him?
¹⁵ 
For though I were righteous, I could not answer.
I must appeal for mercy to my Opponent and Judge.
¹⁶ 
“If I called and He answered me,
I could not believe that He was listening to my voice.
¹⁷ 
“For He bruises me with a tempest
And multiplies my wounds without cause.
¹⁸ 
“He will not allow me to catch my breath,
But fills and saturates me with bitterness.
¹⁹ 
“If it is a matter of strength and power, behold, He is mighty!
And if of justice, who can summon and challenge Him?
²⁰ 
“Though I am innocent and in the right, my own mouth would pronounce me guilty;
Though I am blameless, He would denounce me as guilty.
