Job 9:18-20

Modern English Version

¹⁸ He will not allow me to get my breath,
    but fills me with bitterness.
¹⁹ If it is a matter of strength, indeed, He is strong;
    and if of justice, who will set me a time to plead?
²⁰ Though I were righteous, my own mouth would condemn me;
    though I were perfect, it would prove me perverse.
