Job 9:18
Verse 18 of 35. The 9th of 42 chapters in Job, in Poetry and Wisdom.
14How much less will I answer him, and choose my words to argue with him?
15Though I were righteous, yet I wouldn’t answer him. I would make supplication to my judge.
16If I had called, and he had answered me, yet I wouldn’t believe that he listened to my voice.
17For he breaks me with a storm, and multiplies my wounds without cause.
18He will not allow me to catch my breath, but fills me with bitterness.
19If it is a matter of strength, behold, he is mighty! If of justice, ‘Who,’ says he, ‘will summon me?’
20Though I am righteous, my own mouth will condemn me. Though I am blameless, it will prove me perverse.
21I am blameless. I don’t respect myself. I despise my life.
22“It is all the same. Therefore I say he destroys the blameless and the wicked.
