Job 9:15-24 - Though I Am Innocent

¹⁵ Whom, if I was just, I shall not answer; I will make supplication to my judge. ¹⁶ If I called and he will answer me, I shall not believe that he will give ear to my voice. ¹⁷ Who will assail me with tempest, and he multiplied my wounds without cause. ¹⁸ He will not give me to draw in my spirit, for he will fill me with bitterness. ¹⁹ If for strength, behold him strong: if for judgment, who shall arraign me ²⁰ If I shall be just, my mouth shall condemn me: I am blameless, and he will declare me perverse.

²¹ I am blameless, I shall not know my soul: I shall despise my life. ²² It is one: for this, I said, The blameless one and the unjust one he finishes. ²³ If the scourge shall fall suddenly, he will deride at the trial of the innocent ²⁴ The earth was given into the hand of the unjust one: he will cover the faces of her judges; if not now, who is it?
