King James Version with Apocrypha
"He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness."
— Job 9:18, King James Version with Apocrypha
“He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness.”
“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.”
Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I would make supplication to my judge.
If I had called, and he had answered me; yet would I not believe that he had 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.
If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead?
If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.
Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would despise my life.
