Job 9:20
Even if I were righteous, my mouth would condemn me; if I were blameless, it would declare me guilty.
Note Or He would declare me guilty
If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.
Though I am righteous, my own mouth will condemn me. Though I am blameless, it will prove me perverse.
Though I be righteous, mine own mouth shall condemn me: Though I be perfect, it shall prove me perverse.
