The King James Version Bible

Job 9:16-20

  1. If I had called, and he had answered me; yet would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice.

  2. For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.

  3. He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness.

  4. If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead?

  5. If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.
