Job 9:16

¹⁴ How then can I answer Him or choose my arguments against Him?

¹⁵ For even if I were right, I could not answer. I could only beg my Judge for mercy.

If I summoned Him and He answered me, I do not believe He would listen to my voice.

¹⁷ For He would crush me with a tempest and multiply my wounds without cause.

¹⁸ He does not let me catch my breath, but overwhelms me with bitterness.
