12 If he snatches away, who can turn him back?Who dares to say to him, ‘What are you doing?’
13 God does not restrain his anger;under him the helpers of Rahab lie crushed.
14 “How much less, then, can I answer himand choose my words to argue with him!
15 Although I am innocent, I could not answer him;I could only plead with my judge for mercy.
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.
