15 Though I were innocent, I could not answer him;

I could only plead with my Judge for mercy.

15 Though I am in the right, I cannot answer him;

I must appeal for mercy to my accuser.

15 Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer,

But I would make supplication to my judge.

15 Even if I were right, I would have no defense.

I could only plead for mercy.

15 For though I were righteous, I could not answer Him;

I would beg mercy of my Judge.

15 Even if I were right, I could not answer him;

I could only beg God, my Judge, for mercy.

15 Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer;

I would make supplication to my judge.

15 Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer; I would make supplication to my judge.

15 Even if I were right, I could not answer ⸤him⸥. 

I would have to plead for mercy from my judge. 

15 Even if I were in the right, I could not answer.

I could only beg my Judge for mercy.

15 Though I am innocent, I cannot answer him;

I must appeal for mercy to my accuser.

15 whom I cannot answer, even though I am righteous?

From my judge I must implore grace.

15 Even if I hadn’t done anything wrong,

I couldn’t answer him.

I could only beg my Judge to have mercy on me.
