Job 9:20

Job's Third Speech: A Response To Bildad

¹⁹ If it is a matter of strength, look, He is the Mighty One!
If it is a matter of justice, who can summon Him?
²⁰ Even if I were in the right, my own mouth would condemn me;
if I were blameless, my mouth would declare me guilty. ²¹ Though I am blameless,
I no longer care about myself;
I renounce my life.
