Job 9:20

Job's Third Speech: A Response To Bildad

¹⁹ If it is a question of strength, he says, Here I am! and if it is a question of a cause at law, he says, Who will give me a fixed day? ²⁰ Though I was in the right, he would say that I was in the wrong; I have done no evil; but he says that I am a sinner. ²¹ I have done no wrong; I give no thought to what becomes of me; I have no desire for life.
