Job 9:19-21
Modern English Version

19 If it is a matter of strength, indeed, He is strong;
    and if of justice, who will set me a time to plead?
20 Though I were righteous, my own mouth would condemn me;
    though I were perfect, it would prove me perverse.

21 “Though I were perfect,
    I would not know myself;
    I would despise my life.
