If I wanted to justify myself, my own mouth will condemn me; if I would reveal my innocence, he would prove me depraved.
And if I now became simple, my soul would be ignorant even of this, and my life would weary me.
There is one thing that I have said: both the innocent and the impious he consumes.
If he scourges, let him kill all at once, and not laugh at the punishment of the innocent.
Since the earth has been given into the hand of the impious, he covers the face of its judges; for if it is not him, then who is it?
My days have been swifter than a messenger; they have fled and have not seen goodness.
They have passed by like ships carrying fruits, just like an eagle flying to food.
