27. If I say, ‘I will forget my complaint,I will change my expression and be cheerful,’
28. I dread all my sufferings,for I know that you do not hold me blameless.
29. If I am guilty,why then weary myself in vain?
30. If I wash myself with snow water,and make my hands clean with lye,
31. then you plunge me into a slimy pitand my own clothes abhor me.
32. For he is not a human being like I am,that I might answer him,that we might come together in judgment.
