Though I am righteous, my own mouth will condemn me.
Though I am blameless, it will prove me perverse.
Though I am righteous, my own mouth will condemn me.
Though I am blameless, it will prove me perverse.
Job 9:17–23
For he breaks me with a storm,
and multiplies my wounds without cause.
He will not allow me to catch my breath,
but fills me with bitterness.
If it is a matter of strength, behold, he is mighty!
If of justice, ‘Who,’ says he, ‘will summon me?’
Though I am righteous, my own mouth will condemn me.
Though I am blameless, it will prove me perverse.
I am blameless.
I don’t respect myself.
I despise my life.
“It is all the same.
Therefore I say he destroys the blameless and the wicked.
If the scourge kills suddenly,
he will mock at the trial of the innocent.
