Job 9:16

If I had called That is, prayed, as the word קראתי, karati, commonly means, namely, unto my judge for a favourable sentence, as he had just said; and he had answered me Had given me what I asked; yet would I not believe, &c. So weak and imperfect are my best prayers; and, I am so infinitely below him, so obnoxious to him, and still so full of the tokens of his displeasure, that I would not believe he had done it because I had asked him; or, that it was owing to my prayers, but that he had bestowed the favour purely for his name's sake. Bishop Patrick's paraphrase is, “If I had made supplication, and he had granted my desire, I would not think my prayer had done the business.”
