Job 9:18-23

1. 18 He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness.

2. 19 If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead?

3. 20 If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.

4. 21 Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would despise my life.

5. 22 This is one thing, therefore I said it, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.

6. 23 If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent.
