13. He is God and he does not relent;the helpers of Rahab bow beneath him.
14. How then could I give him any answer,or choose out arguments against him!
15. Even though I were right, I could not answer,but should rather beg for what was due me.
16. If I appealed to him and he answered me,I could not believe that he would listen to me;
17. With a storm he might overwhelm me,and multiply my wounds for nothing;
18. He would not allow me to draw breath,but might fill me with bitter griefs.
19. If it be a question of strength, he is mighty;or of judgment, who will call him to account?
20. Though I were right, my own mouth might condemn me;were I innocent, it might put me in the wrong.
21. I am innocent, but I cannot know it;I despise my life.
