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.’
23 If a scourge brings sudden death,he mocks at the despair of the innocent.
