Job 9:14-20

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁴ ¶ How much less shall I answer him and choose out my words to reason with him?

¹⁵ Who even though I am righteous, yet I would not answer, but I would make supplication to my judge.

¹⁶ Who if I were to invoke him, and he answered me; yet I would not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice.

¹⁷ For he has broken me with a tempest and has multiplied my wounds without cause.

¹⁸ He will not suffer me to take my breath but has filled me with bitterness.

¹⁹ If we were to speak of his strength, he is certainly strong; and if of his judgment, who shall cause us to meet?

²⁰ If I justify myself, my own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, he shall prove me perverse.
