22 It is one: for this, I said, The blameless one and the unjust one he finishes. 23 If the scourge shall fall suddenly, he will deride at the trial of the innocent. 24 The earth was given into the hand of the unjust one: he will cover the faces of her judges; if not now, who is it? 25 My days were swift above a runner: they fled, they saw not good. 26 They glided along with the ships of desire: as the eagle will pounce upon food. 27 If my saying, I will forget my complaint, I will let go my face, and I will be cheerful: 28 I was afraid of all my pains, I knew that thou wilt not acquit me. 29 Shall I do evil, wherefore this shall I labor in vain? 30 If I washed myself in snow-water, and cleansed my hands clean; 31 Then thou wilt immerse me in the ditch, and my garments abhorred me. 32 For not a man as I; I shall answer him, we shall come together in judgment. 33 There is not between us a reprover; he will put his hand upon us two. 34 He will take away his rod from me, and his truth shall not make me afraid. 35 I will speak, and I shall not fear him; but not so am I with myself.
