Job 9:16 Context
14How much lesse shall I answere him, and choose out my words to reason with him? 15Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answere, but I would make supplication to my Iudge. 16If I had called, and had answered me, yet would I not beleeue that he had hearkened vnto my voice: 17For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause. 18Hee will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitternesse.
