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.
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.
