16. If I summoned him, and he answered me,I would not believe that he would be listening to my voice –
17. he who crushes me with a tempest,and multiplies my wounds for no reason.
18. He does not allow me to recover my breath,for he fills me with bitterness.
19. If it is a matter of strength, most certainly he is the strong one!And if it is a matter of justice, he will say, ‘Who will summon me?’
20. Although I am innocent, my mouth would condemn me;although I am blameless, it would declare me perverse.
21. I am blameless. I do not know myself.I despise my life.
22. “It is all one! That is why I say,‘He destroys the blameless and the guilty.’
