How Can Man Be Just with God? — Job 9:14–20
How much less shall I answer him,
And choose out my words to reason with him?
And choose out my words to reason with him?
Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer;
I would make supplication to my judge.
I would make supplication to my judge.
If I had called, and he had answered me,
Yet would I not believe that he hearkened unto my voice.
Yet would I not believe that he hearkened unto my voice.
JOB
For he breaketh me with a tempest,
And multiplieth my wounds without cause.
And multiplieth my wounds without cause.
He will not suffer me to take my breath,
But filleth me with bitterness.
But filleth me with bitterness.
If we speak of strength, lo, he is mighty!
And if of justice, Who, saith he, will summon me?
And if of justice, Who, saith he, will summon me?
Though I be righteous, mine own mouth shall condemn me:
Though I be perfect, it shall prove me perverse.
Though I be perfect, it shall prove me perverse.
