20 Though I am in the right, my own mouth would condemn me;

though I am blameless, he would prove me perverse.

20 If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me:

If I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.

20 Though I am innocent, my own mouth would pronounce me guilty.

Though I am blameless, it would prove me wicked.

20 Though I were righteous, my own mouth would condemn me;

Though I were blameless, it would prove me perverse.

20 Even if I were right, my own mouth would say I was wrong;

if I were innocent, my mouth would say I was guilty.

20 Though I be righteous, mine own mouth shall condemn me:

Though I be perfect, it shall prove me perverse.

20 If I justified myself, mine own mouth would condemn me; were I perfect, he would prove me perverse.

20 If I am righteous, my own mouth would condemn me. 

It would declare that I am corrupt even if I am a man of integrity. 

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

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

20 Though I am innocent, my own mouth would condemn me;

though I am blameless, he would prove me perverse.

20 Even though I am righteous, my mouth will condemn me;

even though I am blameless, yet it would pronounce me guilty.

20 Even if I hadn’t sinned, what I said would prove me guilty.

Even if I were honest, my words would show that I’m wrong.

20 “Though I am righteous, my mouth will condemn me;

Though I am guiltless, He will declare me guilty.
