Job 9:21 Context
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. 23If the scourge slay suddenly, hee will laugh at the triall of the innocent.
