"He does not allow me to recover my breath, for he fills me with bitterness."
— Job 9:18, NET Bible
“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 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.”
Although I am innocent, I could not answer him; I could only plead with my judge for mercy.
If I summoned him, and he answered me, I would not believe that he would be listening to my voice–
he who crushes me with a tempest, and multiplies my wounds for no reason.
He does not allow me to recover my breath, for he fills me with bitterness.
If it is a matter of strength, most certainly he is the strong one! And if it is a matter of justice, he will say,‘Who will summon me?’
Although I am innocent, my mouth would condemn me; although I am blameless, it would declare me perverse.
I am blameless. I do not know myself. I despise my life.
