Job 9:18 in Context — Job 9

16 Ainda que eu lhe chamasse, e ele respondesse, mesmo assim não creria que ele tivesse dado ouvidos à minha voz.

17 Pois ele tem me quebrantado com tempestade, e multiplicado minhas feridas sem causa.

18 Ele não me permite respirar; em vez disso, me farta de amarguras.

19 Quanto às forças, eis que ele é forte; e quanto ao juízo, [ele diria] : Quem me convocará?

20 Ainda que eu seja justo, minha boca me condenaria; se eu fosse inocente, então ela me declararia perverso.
