Job 9:15-17

New International Reader's Version

¹⁵ Even if I hadn’t done anything wrong,
    I couldn’t answer him.
    I could only beg my Judge to have mercy on me.
¹⁶ Suppose I called out to him and he answered.
    I don’t believe he’d listen to me.
¹⁷ He would send a storm to crush me.
    He’d increase my wounds without any reason.
