Job 9:17 BBE

¹⁵  Even if my cause was good, I would not be able to give an answer; I would make request for grace from him who was against me.

¹⁶  If I had sent for him to be present, and he had come, I would have no faith that he would give ear to my voice.

¹⁷  For I would be crushed by his storm, my wounds would be increased without cause.

¹⁸  He would not let me take my breath, but I would be full of bitter grief.

¹⁹  If it is a question of strength, he says, Here I am! and if it is a question of a cause at law, he says, Who will give me a fixed day?
