Job 9:15-17

New Catholic Bible

¹⁵ Even if I am innocent, how can I answer him?
    I can only plead that he have mercy on me.
¹⁶ “Even if I summoned him and he responded,
    I do not believe that he would listen to what I said.
¹⁷ He might crush me in a tempest
    and multiply my wounds without cause.
