Job 9:18 in context

  1. 16If I had called, and he had answered me,
    yet I wouldn’t believe that he listened to my voice.
  2. 17For he breaks me with a storm,
    and multiplies my wounds without cause.
  3. 18He will not allow me to catch my breath,
    but fills me with bitterness.
  4. 19If it is a matter of strength, behold, he is mighty!
    If of justice, ‘Who,’ says he, ‘will summon me?’
  5. 20Though I am righteous, my own mouth will condemn me.
    Though I am blameless, it will prove me perverse.
