Job 9:14 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 9:14
Job laments: 'How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to reason with him?' Job recognizes his inability to argue legally with God. The verb anah (עָנָה, answer) means to respond or testify. Job desires vindication but acknowledges the impossibility of presenting a case before infinite wisdom and power. This humble recognition of creaturely limitation contrasts with his bold protests of innocence—Job both asserts his righteousness and admits he cannot prove it before God without help.
