Job 9:17

For He would crush me with a tempest and multiply my wounds without cause.

Job 9:17 · BSB

Job 9:17 in context

The verses around it, from Job 9.

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.

19 If it is a matter of strength, He is indeed mighty! If it is a matter of justice, who can summon Him?

20 Even if I were righteous, my mouth would condemn me; if I were blameless, it would declare me guilty.

21 Though I am blameless, I have no concern for myself; I despise my own life.
