16 Even if I summoned him and he responded,

I do not believe he would give me a hearing.

16 If I had called, and he had answered me;

Yet would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice.

16 And even if I summoned him and he responded,

I’m not sure he would listen to me.

16 If I called and He answered me,

I would not believe that He was listening to my voice.

16 If I called to him and he answered,

I still don’t believe he would listen to me.

16 If I had called, and he had answered me,

Yet would I not believe that he hearkened unto my voice.

16 If I had called, and he had answered me, I would not believe that he hearkened to my voice, —

16 If I cried out and he answered me, 

I do not believe that he would listen to me. 

16 If I summoned Him and He answered me,

I do not believe He would pay attention to what I said.

16 If I summoned him and he answered me,

I do not believe that he would listen to my voice.

16 If I summon him, and he should answer me,

I do not believe that he will listen to my voice—

16 Suppose I called out to him and he answered.

I don’t believe he’d listen to me.

16 “If I called and He answered me,

I could not believe that He was listening to my voice.
