Job 9:14-19 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

14. How then could I give him any answer,or choose out arguments against him!

15. Even though I were right, I could not answer,but should rather beg for what was due me.

16. If I appealed to him and he answered me,I could not believe that he would listen to me;

17. With a storm he might overwhelm me,and multiply my wounds for nothing;

18. He would not allow me to draw breath,but might fill me with bitter griefs.

19. If it be a question of strength, he is mighty;or of judgment, who will call him to account?
