“He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness.”

And if I now have any justice, I will not respond, but will beseech my judge.
And if he should listen to me when I call, I would not believe that he had heard my voice.
For he will crush me in a whirlwind and multiply my wounds, even without cause.
He does not permit my spirit to rest, and he fills me with bitterness.
If strength is sought, he is most strong; if equity in judgment, no one would dare to give testimony for me.
If I wanted to justify myself, my own mouth will condemn me; if I would reveal my innocence, he would prove me depraved.
And if I now became simple, my soul would be ignorant even of this, and my life would weary me.
