Job 9:12-18 English Standard Version (ESV)

12. Behold, he snatches away; who can turn him back? Who will say to him, ‘What are you doing?’

13. “God will not turn back his anger;beneath him bowed the helpers of Rahab.

14. How then can I answer him,choosing my words with him?

15. Though I am in the right, I cannot answer him;I must appeal for mercy to my accuser.

16. If I summoned him and he answered me,I would not believe that he was listening to my voice.

17. For he crushes me with a tempestand multiplies my wounds without cause;

18. he will not let me get my breath,but fills me with bitterness.
