Job 9:29 net — If I am guilty, why then weary myself in vain?

They glide by like reed boats, like an eagle that swoops down on its prey.

If I say,‘I will forget my complaint, I will change my expression and be cheerful,’

I dread all my sufferings, for I know that you do not hold me blameless.

If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands clean with lye,

then you plunge me into a slimy pit and my own clothes abhor me.

For he is not a human being like I am, that I might answer him, that we might come together in judgment.
