⁹ “People cry out^(A) under a load of oppression;^(B)
    they plead for relief from the arm of the powerful.^(C)
10 But no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker,^(D)
    who gives songs^(E) in the night,^(F)
11 who teaches^(G) us^(H) more than he teaches^[a] the beasts of the earth
    and makes us wiser than^[b] the birds in the sky?’
¹² He does not answer^(I) when people cry out
    because of the arrogance^(J) of the wicked.^(K)
13 Indeed, God does not listen to their empty plea;
    the Almighty pays no attention to it.^(L)
14 How much less, then, will he listen
    when you say that you do not see him,^(M)
that your case^(N) is before him
    and you must wait for him,^(O)
15 and further, that his anger never punishes^(P)
    and he does not take the least notice of wickedness.^[c](Q)
16 So Job opens his mouth with empty talk;^(R)
    without knowledge he multiplies words.”^(S)
