New Testament

Job 9:15-20 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

15. Even if I was right, I could not answer him.I could only beg God, my Judge, for mercy.

16. I might call to him. But even if he answered,I still would not believe he would listen to me.

17. God would crush me with a storm.He would multiply my hurts for no reason.

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

19. When it comes to strength, God is stronger than I.And when it comes to justice, no one can accuse him!

20. Even if I were right, my own mouth would say I was wrong.If I were innocent, my mouth would say I was guilty.
