Job 9:29

New Century Version

I have already been found guilty, so why should I struggle for no reason?

See the chapter Copy

I will say to God: Do not hold me guilty, but tell me what you have against me.

You know I am not guilty, but no one can save me from your power.

“I know very well your thoughts and your plans to wrong me.

But God has found fault with me; he considers me his enemy.

Even if I were right, my own mouth would say I was wrong; if I were innocent, my mouth would say I was guilty.

It is all the same. That is why I say, ‘God destroys both the innocent and the guilty.’

But the Lord will not take away his protection or let good people be judged guilty.

So why have I kept my heart pure? Why have I kept my hands from doing wrong?

but you say, ‘I am innocent. God is not angry with me.’ But I will judge you guilty of lying, because you say, ‘I have not sinned.’
