Job 9:16-19
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 9
16If I called and He answered me, I could not believe that He was listening to my voice. 17For He bruises me with a storm And multiplies my wounds without cause. 18He will not allow me to get my breath, But He saturates me with bitterness. 19If it is a matter of power, behold, He is the strong one! And if it is a matter of justice, who can summon Him?King James Version
Chapter 9
16If I had called, and he had answered me; yet would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice. 17For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause. 18He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness. 19If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead?Christian Standard Bible

If it’s a matter of justice, who dares to summon him to court?English Standard Version
