Job 9:17-21
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 9
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? 20Though I am righteous, my mouth will condemn me; Though I am guiltless, He will declare me guilty. 21I am guiltless; I do not take notice of myself; I reject my life.King James Version
Chapter 9
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? 20If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse. 21Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would despise my life.Christian Standard Bible

17He batters me with a whirlwind and multiplies my wounds without cause. 18He doesn't let me catch my breath but fills me with bitter experiences. 19If it is a matter of strength, look, he is the powerful one! If it is a matter of justice, who can summon him? 20Even if I were in the right, my own mouth would condemn me; if I were blameless, my mouth would declare me guilty. 21Though I am blameless, I no longer care about myself; I renounce my life.New Living Translation
Chapter 9
17For he attacks me with a storm and repeatedly wounds me without cause. 18He will not let me catch my breath, but fills me instead with bitter sorrows. 19If it’s a question of strength, he’s the strong one. If it’s a matter of justice, who dares to summon him to court? 20Though I am innocent, my own mouth would pronounce me guilty. Though I am blameless, it would prove me wicked.English Standard Version

17For he crushes me with a tempest and multiplies my wounds without cause; 18he will not let me get my breath, but fills me with bitterness. 19If it is a contest of strength, behold, he is mighty! If it is a matter of justice, who can summon him? 20Though I am in the right, my own mouth would condemn me; though I am blameless, he would prove me perverse. 21I am blameless; I regard not myself; I loathe my life.New International Version
