Job 9:16
Compare all
14 “How then can I answer Him,
And choose my words to reason with Him?
15 aFor though I were righteous, I could not answer Him;
I would beg mercy of my Judge. 
16 If I called and He answered me,
I would not believe that He was listening to my voice.
17 For He crushes me with a tempest,
And multiplies my wounds awithout cause. 
18 He will not allow me to catch my breath,
But fills me with bitterness.
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.
22 It is all one thing;
Therefore I say, a‘He destroys the blameless and the wicked.’
