"He will not suffer me to take my breath, But filleth me with bitterness. "
— Job 9:18, American Standard Version
“He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness.”
“He will not allow me to catch my breath, but fills me with bitterness.”
“He does not allow me to recover my breath, for he fills me with bitterness.”
“He alloweth not my spirit to rest, and he filleth me with bitterness.”
“He would not let me take my breath, but I would be full of bitter grief.”
“He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness.”
Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer; I would make supplication to my judge.
If I had called, and he had answered me, Yet would I not believe that he hearkened unto my voice.
For he breaketh me with a tempest, And multiplieth my wounds without cause.
He will not suffer me to take my breath, But filleth me with bitterness.
Ifwe speakof strength, lo, he ismighty! And if of justice, Who, saith he, will summon me?
Though I be righteous, mine own mouth shall condemn me: Though I be perfect, it shall prove me perverse.
I am perfect; I regard not myself; I despise my life.
