Holy Scripture
Job 9:18
A church father on this verse
“"He will not let me catch my breath." That is, I am filled with a multitude of afflictions. "He has filled me with bitterness, for indeed he is superior in power. Who, then, shall resist his judgment?" Job does not want to say simply that God is superior to him in power but also that God is able to do whatever he want…”

19For indeed he is strong in power: Who then shall resist his judgment?
20For though I should seem righteous, my mouth will be profane: And though I should seem blameless, I shall be proved perverse.
