Job 9:16-18

Expanded Bible

¹⁶ If I ·called to [summoned] him and he answered,
    I still don’t believe he would ·listen to me [^Lhear my voice].
¹⁷ He would crush me with a ·storm [whirlwind; 38:1]
    and multiply my ·wounds [bruises] ·for no reason [without cause].
¹⁸ He would not let me ·catch [regain] my breath
    but would ·overwhelm [satiate] me with ·misery [bitterness].
