9. and set the stars in place—the Great Bear and Orion,the Pleiades and the starsin the southern sky.
10. Of all the miracles God works,we cannot understand a single one.
11. God walks right past me,without making a sound.
12. And if he grabs something,who can stop himor raise a question?
13. When God showed his anger,the servants of the sea monsterfell at his feet.
14. How, then, could I possiblyargue my case with God?
15. Even though I am innocent,I can only beg for mercy.
16. And if God came into courtwhen I called him,he would not hear my case.
17. He would strike me with a stormand increase my injuriesfor no reason at all.
18. Before I could get my breath,my miseries would multiply.
19. God is much stronger than I am,and who would call me into courtto give me justice?
20. Even if I were innocent,God would prove me wrong.
21. I am not guilty,but I no longer carewhat happens to me.
22. What difference does it make?God destroys the innocentalong with the guilty.
23. When a good person diesa sudden death,God sits back and laughs.
24. And who else but Godblindfolds the judges,then lets the wickedtake over the earth?
25. My life is speeding by,without a hope of happiness.
26. Each day passes swifterthan a sailing shipor an eagle swooping down.
27. Sometimes I try to be cheerfuland to stop complaining,
28. but my sufferings frighten me,because I know that Godstill considers me guilty.
