Job 9:18

ExhaustionSuffering

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.

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.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
