Job 9:19-21
New King James Version
19 If it is a matter of strength, indeed He is strong;
And if of justice, who will appoint my day in court?
20 Though I were righteous, my own mouth would condemn me;
Though I were blameless, it would prove me perverse.
21 “I am blameless, yet I do not know myself;
I despise my life.
Job 9:19-21
English Standard Version
19 If it is a contest of (A)strength, behold, he is mighty!
If it is a matter of justice, who can (B)summon him?[a]
20 Though I am in the right, (C)my own mouth would condemn me;
though I am blameless, he would prove me perverse.
21 I am (D)blameless; I regard not myself;
I (E)loathe my life.
