Job 9:14 - The Message

"So how could I ever argue with him,
   construct a defense that would influence God?
Even though I’m innocent I could never prove it;
   I can only throw myself on the Judge’s mercy.
If I called on God and he himself answered me,
   then, and only then, would I believe that he’d heard me.
As it is, he knocks me about from pillar to post,
   beating me up, black-and-blue, for no good reason.
He won’t even let me catch my breath,
   piles bitterness upon bitterness.
If it’s a question of who’s stronger, he wins, hands down!
   If it’s a question of justice, who’ll serve him the subpoena?
Even though innocent, anything I say incriminates me;
   blameless as I am, my defense just makes me sound worse.
