Job 9:11-19

CEBA

NIV

11 If God goes by me, I can't see him; he glides past, and I can't perceive him.
11 When he passes me, I cannot see him; when he goes by, I cannot perceive him.
12 If he seizes, who can bring back? Who can say to him, "What are you doing?"
12 If he snatches away, who can stop him? Who can say to him, ‘What are you doing?’
13 God won't retract his anger; the helpers of Rahab bow beneath him.
13 God does not restrain his anger; even the cohorts of Rahab cowered at his feet.
14 Yet I myself will answer him; I'll choose my words in a contest with him.
14 “How then can I dispute with him? How can I find words to argue with him?
15 Even if I'm innocent, I can't answer; I must plead for justice.
15 Though I were innocent, I could not answer him; I could only plead with my Judge for mercy.
16 If I were to call and he answered me, I couldn't believe that he heard my voice.
16 Even if I summoned him and he responded, I do not believe he would give me a hearing.
17 Who bruises me with a tempest and multiplies my wounds for no reason?
17 He would crush me with a storm and multiply my wounds for no reason.
18 He doesn't let me catch my breath, for he fills me with bitterness.
18 He would not let me catch my breath but would overwhelm me with misery.
19 If the issue is strength—behold power! If justice—who calls God to meet me?
19 If it is a matter of strength, he is mighty! And if it is a matter of justice, who can challenge him ?
