10. who does great things beyond searching out,and marvelous things beyond number.
11. Behold, he passes by me, and I see him not;he moves on, but I do not perceive him.
12. Behold, he snatches away; who can turn him back? Who will say to him, ‘What are you doing?’
13. “God will not turn back his anger;beneath him bowed the helpers of Rahab.
14. How then can I answer him,choosing my words with him?
15. Though I am in the right, I cannot answer him;I must appeal for mercy to my accuser.
16. If I summoned him and he answered me,I would not believe that he was listening to my voice.
17. For he crushes me with a tempestand multiplies my wounds without cause;
18. he will not let me get my breath,but fills me with bitterness.
19. If it is a contest of strength, behold, he is mighty!If it is a matter of justice, who can summon him?
20. Though I am in the right, my own mouth would condemn me;though I am blameless, he would prove me perverse.
21. I am blameless; I regard not myself;I loathe my life.
22. It is all one; therefore I say,‘He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.’
23. When disaster brings sudden death,he mocks at the calamity of the innocent.
