Job 9:14

¹² If He takes away, who can stop Him? Who dares to ask Him, ‘What are You doing?’

¹³ God does not restrain His anger; the helpers of Rahab cower beneath Him.

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.

¹⁶ If I summoned Him and He answered me, I do not believe He would listen to my voice.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
