25. Now my days are swifter than a post; they fled away, they never saw good.
26. They are passed away as the ships of Ebeh {Heb. reed} as the eagle that throws himself on the prey.
27. If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness and comfort myself;
28. I am afraid of all my troubles; I know that thou wilt not hold me guiltless.
29. If I am wicked, why then shall I toil in vain?
30. If I wash myself with snow water and make my hands never so clean;
31. yet thou shalt plunge me into the pit, and my own clothes shall abhor me.
32. For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together unto judgment.
