Job 9:14-20

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁴ How great am I, that I answer to him, and speak by my words with him? (How great am I, that I answer him, and say my words to him?)

¹⁵ Which also (I) shall not answer to him, though I have anything just; but I shall beseech my judge to spare me. (Which even though I am just, I shall not answer him; but I shall still beseech my judge to spare me.)

¹⁶ And (even) when he hath heard me inwardly calling him, I believe not, that he hath heard my voice.

¹⁷ For in a whirlwind he shall all-break me, and he shall multiply my wounds, yea, without cause. (For he shall all-break me with a whirlwind, and he shall multiply my wounds, yea, for no reason.)

¹⁸ He granteth not, that my spirit have rest (He granteth not, that I catch my breath), and he filleth me with bitternesses.

¹⁹ If strength is sought, he is most strong; and if equity of doom is sought, no man dare yield witnessing for me (and if justice is sought, no one shall dare give testimony for me).

²⁰ If I will make me just, my own mouth shall condemn me; if I shall show me innocent, he shall prove me a shrew. (If I will declare myself just, or right, my own mouth shall condemn me; if I shall declare myself innocent, it shall prove me a depraved man.)
