Job 9:14 - 9:20

14
How then can I answer Him,
And choose my words before Him?
15
For though I were right, I could not answer;
I would have to plead for the grace of my judge.
16
If I called and He answered me,
I could not believe that He was giving ear to my voice.
17
For He bruises me with a tempest
And multiplies my wounds without cause.
18
He will not allow me to get my breath,
But saturates me with bitterness.
19
If it is a matter of power, behold, He is the mighty one!
And if it is a matter of justice, who can make Him testify?
20
Though I am righteous, my mouth will condemn me;
Though I am blameless, He will declare me perverse.
