Job 9:11-19 Modern English Version (MEV)

11. Yes, He would cross before me, and I would not see Him;He would pass on by, but I would not perceive Him.

12. Yes, He takes away; who can hinder Him?Who will say to Him, ‘What are You doing?’

13. God will not withdraw His anger.The proud helpers bow down beneath Him.

14. “How, then, can I myself answer Him,and choose my words to reason with Him?

15. Even if I were righteous I could not answer;I would plead to my Judge for favor.

16. If I called, and He answered me,I would not believe that He had listened to my voice.

17. For He crushes me with a stormand multiplies my wounds without cause.

18. He will not allow me to get my breath,but fills me with bitterness.

19. If it is a matter of strength, indeed, He is strong;and if of justice, who will set me a time to plead?
