17 For he crushes me with a tempestand multiplies my wounds without cause;
18 he will not let me get my breath,but fills me with bitterness.
19 If it is a contest of strength, behold, he is mighty!If it is a matter of justice, who can summon him?
20 Though I am in the right, my own mouth would condemn me;though I am blameless, he would prove me perverse.
21 I am blameless; I regard not myself;I loathe my life.
22 It is all one; therefore I say,‘He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.’
23 When disaster brings sudden death,he mocks at the calamity of the innocent.
