18He would not let me regain my breath but would overwhelm me with misery.


In Context

15 Though I were innocent, I could not answer him; I could only plead with my Judge for mercy.

16 Even if I summoned him and he responded, I do not believe he would give me a hearing.

17 He would crush me with a storm and multiply my wounds for no reason.

18 He would not let me regain my breath but would overwhelm me with misery.

19 If it is a matter of strength, he is mighty! And if it is a matter of justice, who will summon him ?

20 Even if I were innocent, my mouth would condemn me; if I were blameless, it would pronounce me guilty.
