New International Version

Job 9:12-19 New International Version (NIV)

12. If he snatches away, who can stop him? Who can say to him, ‘What are you doing?’

13. God does not restrain his anger; even the cohorts of Rahab cowered at his feet.

14. “How then can I dispute with him? How can I find words to argue with him?

15. Though I were innocent, I could not answer him; I could only plead with my Judge for mercy.

16. Even if I summoned him and he responded, I do not believe he would give me a hearing.

17. He would crush me with a storm and multiply my wounds for no reason.

18. He would not let me catch my breath but would overwhelm me with misery.

19. If it is a matter of strength, he is mighty! And if it is a matter of justice, who can challenge him ?
