Job 9:15-24 - Though I Am Innocent
15 Whom, though I were righteous, yet I would not answer; I seek mercy for my judgment. 16 If I had called and He had answered me, yet would I not believe that He had listened to my voice; 17 He who breaks me with a tempest, and multiplies my wounds without cause; 18 who will not allow me to take my breath, but fills me with bitterness. 19 If I speak of strength, lo, He is mighty! And if of judgment, who shall set me a time? 20 If I justify myself, my own mouth shall condemn me; though I am perfect, He shall declare me perverse.
21 Though I were perfect, yet I would not know my soul. I would despise my life. 22 It is One, therefore I said, He is consuming the perfect and the wicked. 23 If the whip kills suddenly, He will mock at the calamity of the innocent. 24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; He covers the faces of its judges; if it is not He, then who is it?
