John Trapp on Job 9:15

Verſe 15. Whom though I were righteous] Legally righteous, as none ever were, but the firſt and ſecond Adam.

Yet would I not anſwer] viz. by pleading mine own righteouſneſſe, ſith no created righteouſneſſe can anſwer God. Some render it, non attollam vocem, ne hiſcere quidem audebo, I will not lift up my voice, nor dare to mute againſt him. (See 1 Cor. 4.4.) No though I were never ſo innocent, and did ſuffer this miſery undeſervedly.

But I would make ſupplication to my Judge] As he doth, though it were a good while firſt, in the end of the next chapter. It is likely that he intended to do it ſooner, but was put by by his paſſions; which when they fume up into the head, gather oft into ſo thick a cloud, that we loſe the ſight of our ſelves, and what is beſt to be done. Jonas thought to have prayed chap. 4.1, 2. but it proved a brawle; and when as by prayer he thought to overcome his anger, anger overcame him and his prayer too.
