12 If he would snatch away, who could turn him? Who could say to him, ‘What are you doing?’
13 God will not turn back his anger; beneath him the helpers of Rahab bow.
14 How much less can I myself answer him? How can I choose my words with him,
15 whom I cannot answer, even though I am righteous? From my judge I must implore grace.
16 If I summon him, and he should answer me, I do not believe that he will listen to my voice—
17 who crushes me with a tempest and multiplies my wounds without cause.
18 He will not allow me to catch my breath; rather, he will fill me with bitterness.
