12. If he seizes, who can bring back?Who can say to him, "What are you doing?"
13. God won’t retract his anger;the helpers of Rahab bow beneath him.
14. Yet I myself will answer him;I’ll choose my words in a contest with him.
15. Even if I’m innocent, I can’t answer;I must plead for justice.
16. If I were to call and he answered me,I couldn’t believe that he heard my voice.
17. Who bruises me with a tempestand multiplies my wounds for no reason?
18. He doesn’t let me catch my breath,for he fills me with bitterness.
