Job 9:18 ASV

¹⁶  If I had called, and he had answered me, Yet would I not believe that he hearkened unto my voice.

¹⁷  For he breaketh me with a tempest, And multiplieth my wounds without cause.

¹⁸  He will not suffer me to take my breath, But filleth me with bitterness.

¹⁹  If 'we speak' of strength, lo, 'he is' mighty! And if of justice, Who, 'saith he', will summon me?

²⁰  Though I be righteous, mine own mouth shall condemn me: Though I be perfect, it shall prove me perverse.
