28. I ⌊still⌋ dread everything I must suffer.I know that you won’t declare me innocent.
29. I’ve already been found guilty.Why should I work so hard for nothing?
30. If I wash myself with lye soapand cleanse my hands with bleach,
31. then you would plunge me into a muddy pit,and my own clothes would find me disgusting.
32. A human like me cannot answer God,‘Let’s take our case to court.’
33. There is no mediator between usto put his hand on both of us.
34. God should take his rod away from me,and he should not terrify me.
35. Then I would speak and not be afraid of him.But I know that I am not like that.
