15. Even if I were righteous I could not answer;I would plead to my Judge for favor.
16. If I called, and He answered me,I would not believe that He had listened to my voice.
17. For He crushes me with a stormand multiplies my wounds without cause.
18. He will not allow me to get my breath,but fills me with bitterness.
