17 For he breaks me with a storm,and multiplies my wounds without cause.
18 He will not allow me to catch my breath,but fills me with bitterness.
19 If it is a matter of strength, behold, he is mighty!If of justice, ‘Who,’ says he, ‘will summon me?’
20 Though I am righteous, my own mouth shall condemn me.Though I am blameless, it shall prove me perverse.
21 I am blameless.I don’t respect myself.I despise my life.
22 “It is all the same.Therefore I say he destroys the blameless and the wicked.
23 If the scourge kills suddenly,he will mock at the trial of the innocent.
