Job 9:15-17

Expanded Bible

¹⁵ Even if I were ·right [righteous], I could not answer him;
    I could only ·beg God [plead], my Judge, for mercy.
¹⁶ If I ·called to [summoned] him and he answered,
    I still don’t believe he would ·listen to me [^Lhear my voice].
¹⁷ He would crush me with a ·storm [whirlwind; 38:1]
    and multiply my ·wounds [bruises] ·for no reason [without cause].
