Iyov 9:15-19
Orthodox Jewish Bible
15 Whom, though I were tzaddik (righteous, innocent, in the right), yet would I not answer, but I would make techinnah (supplication, plea for mercy) for my mishpat (right).
16 If I had summoned, and He had responded to me, yet would I not believe that He had paid heed unto my kol (voice);
17 For He breaketh me in a sa’arah (tempest, storm), and multiplieth my wounds without cause.
18 He will not allow me to take my ruach (breath), but filleth me with bitterness.
19 If I speak of ko’ach, hinei, He is mighty, and if of mishpat, who can give Him a court summons?

I do not believe he would give me a hearing.(E)
17 He would crush me(F) with a storm(G)
and multiply(H) my wounds for no reason.(I)
18 He would not let me catch my breath
but would overwhelm me with misery.(J)

And if it is a matter of justice, who can challenge him[a]?(L)
