Job 9:14

How then can I answer Him or choose my arguments against Him?

Job 9:14 · BSB

Job 9:14 in context

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.
