Job 9:15-17

Amplified Bible

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.
¹⁷ 
“For He bruises me with a tempest
And multiplies my wounds without cause.
