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 sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.
29. If I am wicked, why then do I labor 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 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 in judgment.
33. Neither is there any judge between us, that might lay his hand upon us both.
34. Let him take away his rod from me, and let not his fear terrify me:
35. Then would I speak, and not fear him; but it is not so with me.
