Could you please assist me in answering my questions, it would be much appreciated.

  how do you say/spell/write "Only God Can Judge Me" in latin

    and if you could tell me what "quod me nutrit me destruit" means in english i think it means what nourishes me also destroys me but i want to make sure.   Thank you again!

Answer
Hello,

With regard to the phrase  "Quod me nutrit me destruit", it means in English “ What nourishes me also destroys me”, as you've already said.
