Job 9:12-17 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

12. Should he seize me forcibly, who can resist?Who can say to him, “What are you doing?”

13. He is God and he does not relent;the helpers of Rahab bow beneath him.

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;
