16. And if he should hear me when I call, I should not believe that he had heard my voice.
17. For he shall crush me in a whirlwind, and multiply my wounds even without cause.
18. He alloweth not my spirit to rest, and he filleth me with bitterness.
19. If strength be demanded, he is most strong: if equity of judgment, no man dare bear witness for me.
20. If I would justify myself, my own mouth shall condemn me: if I would shew myself innocent, he shall prove me wicked.
21. Although I should be simple, even this my soul shall be ignorant of, and I shall be weary of my life.
22. One thing there is that I have spoken, both the innocent and the wicked he consumeth.
23. If he scourge, let him kill at once, and not laugh at the pains of the innocent.
