Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 9:16

16. If I had called , and he had answered me, yet would I not believe, that he had hearkned unto my voice :

i. e. Prayed, as this word is commonly used; to wit, unto my Judge, for a favourable sentence, as he now said, and therefore it was neeedless here to mention the Object of his Calling or Prayer.

I could not believe that God had indeed granted my Desire, though he had done it; because I am so infinitely below him, and obnoxious to him and still full of the tokens of his displeasure▪ and therefore should conclude that it was but a pleasant Dream or Fancy, and not a real thing; Compare Psalm 126. 1.
