12 Lo, He snatches away, who bringeth it back? Who saith unto  Him, `What dost Thou?`
         
                                
                        13 God doth not turn back His anger, Under Him bowed have  proud helpers.
         
                                
                        14 How much less do I -- I answer Him? Choose out my words  with Him?
         
                                
                        15 Whom, though I were righteous, I answer not, For my  judgment I make supplication.
         
                                
                        16 Though I had called and He answereth me, I do not believe  that He giveth ear [to] my voice.
         
                                
                        17 Because with a tempest He bruiseth me, And hath multiplied  my wounds for nought.
         
                                
                        18 He permitteth me not to refresh my spirit, But filleth me  with bitter things.
