Job 9:16 in context

  1. 14How much less will I answer him,
    And choose my words to argue with him?
  2. 15Though I were righteous, yet I wouldn’t answer him.
    I would make supplication to my judge.
  3. 16If I had called, and he had answered me,
    yet I wouldn’t believe that he listened to my voice.
  4. 17For he breaks me with a storm,
    and multiplies my wounds without cause.
  5. 18He will not allow me to catch my breath,
    but fills me with bitterness.
