Job 9:14-16

International Standard Version

¹⁴So how am I to answer him,
    choosing what I am to say to him?
¹⁵Even if I’m in the right,
    I cannot answer him.
        I can only appeal for mercy.

¹⁶“Were I to be summoned, and he were to answer me,
I wouldn’t even believe
that he was listening to what I have to say.^[a]
