Job 9:21
King James VersionSource notes
“I perfect, would I not know my soul: I would despise my life.”
Context
18He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness.
19If of strength, lo, strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time
20If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.
21I perfect, would I not know my soul: I would despise my life.
22This one therefore I said He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.
23If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent.
24The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, who he?
