16 If I called to him and he answered,I still don’t believe he would listen to me.
17 He would crush me with a stormand multiply my wounds for no reason.
18 He would not let me catch my breathbut would overwhelm me with misery.
19 When it comes to strength, God is stronger than I;when it comes to justice, no one can accuse him.
20 Even if I were right, my own mouth would say I was wrong;if I were innocent, my mouth would say I was guilty.
21 “I am innocent,but I don’t care about myself.I hate my own life.
22 It is all the same. That is why I say,‘God destroys both the innocent and the guilty.’
