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.
         
                                
                        19 If of power, lo, the Strong One; And if of judgment -- who  doth convene me?
         
                                
                        20 If I be righteous, Mine mouth doth declare me wicked,  Perfect I am! -- it declareth me perverse.
