New International Version (NIV)

16Even if I summoned him and he responded,

I do not believe he would give me a hearing.

16“If I called and He answered me,

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

16“If I called and He answered me,

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

16If I summoned Him and He answered me,

I do not believe He would listen to my voice.

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

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

16If I cry, and he answere me, yet woulde I not beleeue, that he heard my voyce.

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

yet I wouldn’t believe that he listened to my voice.

16Suppose I called out to him and he answered.

I don’t believe he’d listen to me.

16He might agree to meet with me in court.

But I do not believe that he would listen to me.

16Though I had called and He answers me, I do not believe that He gives ear [to] my voice.
