24. When land falls into the hands of evil people,God covers the judges’ faces so they can’t see it.If it is not God who does this, then who is it?
25. “My days go by faster than a runner.They fly away without my seeing even a little joy.
26. They glide past like boats made of papyrus plants.My days are like eagles that swoop down on animals they attack.
27. I might say, ‘I will forget my complaint.I will change the look on my face, and smile.’
28. But I will still dread all my suffering.I know you will hold me guilty.
29. I have already been found guilty.So why should I struggle for no reason?
30. I might wash myself with soap.And I might even wash my hands with strong soap.
31. But you would push me into a dirty pit.And even my clothes would hate me.
32. “God is not a man like me. So I cannot answer him.We cannot meet each other in court.
33. I wish there was someone to make peace between us.I wish someone could decide our case.
