Job 9:18-20

The Voice

¹⁸     He won’t even give me time to catch my breath;
        instead He force-feeds me more bitterness.
¹⁹     If it is an issue of power, there is no question
        He is the mighty one;
        and if it is an issue of justice, who would ever appoint me?
²⁰     Even though I am right in all of this, my own mouth sentences me.
        Though I am blameless, my own lips cheat me.
