Job 9

11  Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: He passeth on also, but I perceive him not.

12  Behold, he seizeth `the prey', who can hinder him? Who will say unto him, What doest thou?

13  God will not withdraw his anger; The helpers of Rahab do stoop under him.

14  How much less shall I answer him, And choose out my words `to reason' with him?

15  Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer; I would make supplication to my judge.

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.
