Bible verse
How then can I answer Him or choose my arguments against Him?
Job 9:14 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 9.
10 He does great things beyond searching out, and wonders without number.
11 Were He to pass by me, I would not see Him; were He to move, I would not recognize Him.
12 If He takes away, who can stop Him? Who dares to ask Him, ‘What are You doing?’
13 God does not restrain His anger; the helpers of Rahab cower beneath Him.
14 How then can I answer Him or choose my arguments against Him?
15 For even if I were right, I could not answer. I could only beg my Judge for mercy.
16 If I summoned Him and He answered me, I do not believe He would listen to my voice.
17 For He would crush me with a tempest and multiply my wounds without cause.
18 He does not let me catch my breath, but overwhelms me with bitterness.
