I shall be condemned. Why then do I labor in vain?
Yet thou said, I am innocent. Surely his anger is turned away from me. Behold, I will enter into judgment with thee because thou say, I have not sinned.
Surely in vain I have cleansed my heart, and washed my hands in innocence,
LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices with which ye would wrong me.
although thou know that I am not wicked. And there is none that can deliver out of thy hand?
I will say to God, Do not condemn me. Show me why thou contend with me.
It is all one thing. Therefore I say, He destroys the perfect and the wicked.
Though I be righteous, my own mouth shall condemn me. Though I be perfect, it shall prove me perverse.
[Thou say,] Behold, he finds occasions against me. He counts me for his enemy.
