You say, ‘My teachings are right, and I am clean in God’s sight.’
You know I am not guilty, but no one can save me from your power.
Then I would have this comfort and be glad even in this unending pain, because I would know I did not reject the words of the Holy One.
But respect Christ as the holy Lord in your hearts. Always be ready to answer everyone who asks you to explain about the hope you have,
“Do you think this is fair? You say, ‘God will show that I am right,’
No one can bring something clean from something dirty.
If I have sinned, what have I done to you, you watcher of humans? Why have you made me your target? Have I become a heavy load for you?
I wish God would speak and open his lips against you
What I am telling you is good, so do not forget what I teach you.
