How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to reason with him?

Verse 14 is found in chapter 9 of Job. Job develops the image of a God whose strength no mortal can resist. If he attempted to present his case before God, he fears that even his own defense would be ineffective. The tension is not a denial of divine justice, but a question of how that justice can be affirmed when personal experience seems to contradict it.

Wie sollte ich denn ihm antworten und Worte finden gegen ihn?
¿Cuánto menos le responderé yo, Y hablaré con él palabras estudiadas?
¡Cuánto menos podría yo responderle y escoger mis palabras ante él!
Et moi, comment lui répondre? Quelles paroles choisir?
Quanto meno gli risponderei io, Ed userei parole scelte contro a lui?
Quanto menos lhe responderia eu, ou escolheria diante dele as minhas palavras!
既是這樣,我怎敢回答他, 怎敢在他之前選擇辯詞呢?
