Job 9:18 Context
16If I had called, and had answered me, yet would I not beleeue that he had hearkened vnto my voice: 17For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause. 18Hee will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitternesse. 19If I speake of strength, loe, hee is strong: and if of iudgement, who shall set me a time to pleade? 20If I iustifie my selfe, mine owne mouth shall condemne me: If I say, I am perfect, it shall also prooue me peruerse.
