Job 9:13–20

13 God does not hold back his anger;

Rahab’sj assistants cringe in fear beneath him!

14 How then can I answer him

or choose my arguments against him?

15 Even if I were in the right, I could not answer.

I could only beg my Judge for mercy.k

16 If I summoned him and he answered me,

I do not believe he would pay attention to what I said.

17 He batters me with a whirlwindl

and multiplies my wounds without cause.

18 He doesn’t let me catch my breath

but fills me with bitter experiences.

19 If it is a matter of strength, look, he is the powerful one!m

If it is a matter of justice, who can summonn him?E

20 Even if I were in the right, my own mouth would condemn me;o

if I were blameless, my mouth would declare me guilty.
