Job 9:12-17 Common English Bible (CEB)

12. If he seizes, who can bring back?Who can say to him, "What are you doing?"

13. God won’t retract his anger;the helpers of Rahab bow beneath him.

14. Yet I myself will answer him;I’ll choose my words in a contest with him.

15. Even if I’m innocent, I can’t answer;I must plead for justice.

16. If I were to call and he answered me,I couldn’t believe that he heard my voice.

17. Who bruises me with a tempestand multiplies my wounds for no reason?
