Job 9:18 in context
- 16If I had called, and he had answered me,
yet I wouldn’t believe that he listened to my voice. - 17For he breaks me with a storm,
and multiplies my wounds without cause. - 18He will not allow me to catch my breath,
but fills me with bitterness. - 19If it is a matter of strength, behold, he is mighty!
If of justice, ‘Who,’ says he, ‘will summon me?’ - 20Though I am righteous, my own mouth will condemn me.
Though I am blameless, it will prove me perverse.
