Job 9:20 Context
18Hee will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitternesse. 19If I speake of strength, loe, hee is strong: and if of iudgement, who shall set me a time to pleade? 20If I iustifie my selfe, mine owne mouth shall condemne me: If I say, I am perfect, it shall also prooue me peruerse. 21Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soule: I would despise my life. 22This is one thing, therefore I said it; he destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.
