16 Though I had called and He answereth me, I do not believe that He giveth ear to my voice.

17 Because with a tempest He bruiseth me, And hath multiplied my wounds for nought.

18 He permitteth me not to refresh my spirit, But filleth me with bitter things.

19 If of power, lo, the Strong One; And if of judgment — who doth convene me?

20 If I be righteous, Mine mouth doth declare me wicked, Perfect I am! — it declareth me perverse.
