10. He who does great things, beyond discovery,yes, and wonders beyond number.
11. Yes, He would cross before me, and I would not see Him;He would pass on by, but I would not perceive Him.
12. Yes, He takes away; who can hinder Him?Who will say to Him, ‘What are You doing?’
13. God will not withdraw His anger.The proud helpers bow down beneath Him.
14. “How, then, can I myself answer Him,and choose my words to reason with Him?
15. Even if I were righteous I could not answer;I would plead to my Judge for favor.
16. If I called, and He answered me,I would not believe that He had listened to my voice.
17. For He crushes me with a stormand multiplies my wounds without cause.
18. He will not allow me to get my breath,but fills me with bitterness.
19. If it is a matter of strength, indeed, He is strong;and if of justice, who will set me a time to plead?
20. Though I were righteous, my own mouth would condemn me;though I were perfect, it would prove me perverse.
21. “Though I were perfect,I would not know myself;I would despise my life.
22. It is all one thing; therefore I said,‘He destroys both the perfect and the wicked.’
23. If the whip kills suddenly,He will laugh at the trial of the innocent.
