Job 9:16

“If I had called, and he had answered me, yet I wouldn't believe that he listened to my voice.”

Verse in context — Job 9

How much less shall I answer him, And choose my words to argue with him?

Though I were righteous, yet I wouldn't answer him. I would make supplication to my judge.

If I had called, and he had answered me, yet I wouldn't believe that he listened to my voice.

For he breaks me with a storm, and multiplies my wounds without cause.

He will not allow me to catch my breath, but fills me with bitterness.

A poetic exploration of suffering, faith, and God’s sovereignty.
