In context

18He does not let me catch my breath, but overwhelms me with bitterness.

19If it is a matter of strength, He is indeed mighty! If it is a matter of justice, who can summon Him?

20Even if I were righteous, my mouth would condemn me; if I were blameless, it would declare me guilty.

21Though I am blameless, I have no concern for myself; I despise my own life.

22It is all the same, and so I say, ‘He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.’
