Job 9:19 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 9:19

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.’

23 If the scourge slays suddenly,
He laughs at the plight of the innocent.

24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked.
He covers the faces of its judges.
If it is not He, who else could it be?
