15 Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer. I would make supplication to my judge.
16 If I had called, and he had answered me, Yet would I not believe that he listened to my voice.
17 For he breaks me with a tempest, Multiplies my wounds without cause.
18 He will not allow me to take 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 regard myself. I despise my life.
