For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.

Verse 17 is found in chapter 9 of Job. Job develops the image of a God whose strength no mortal can resist. If he attempted to present his case before God, he fears that even his own defense would be ineffective. The tension is not a denial of divine justice, but a question of how that justice can be affirmed when personal experience seems to contradict it.

Denn er fährt über mich mit Ungestüm und macht mir Wunden viel ohne Ursache.
Porque me ha quebrado con tempestad, Y ha aumentado mis heridas sin causa.
Lui qui m'assaille comme par une tempête, Qui multiplie sans raison mes blessures,
Conciossiachè egli mi abbia conquiso con un turbo, E mi abbia date di molte battiture senza cagione.
Porque me quebranta com uma tempestade, e multiplica as minhas chagas sem causa.
他用暴風 摧折我, 無故加增我的損傷。
