27. If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will put off my sad countenance, and be of good cheer:
28. I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.
29. I shall be condemned; why then do I labour in vain?
30. If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean;
31. Yet wilt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me.
32. For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, that we should come together in judgment.
33. There is no daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both.
34. Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his terror make me afraid:
35. Then would I speak, and not fear him; for I am not so in myself.
