Job 9:14-16

Amplified Bible

¹⁴ 
“How can I answer Him [and plead my case],
Choosing my words [to reason] with Him?
¹⁵ 
For though I were righteous, I could not answer.
I must appeal for mercy to my Opponent and Judge.
¹⁶ 
“If I called and He answered me,
I could not believe that He was listening to my voice.
