"If I wash myself with snow, and cleanse my hands with lye,"
— Job 9:30, World English Bible
“If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean;”
“If I wash myself with snow water, And make my hands never so clean; ”
“If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands clean with lye,”
“If I be washed, as it were, with snow waters, and my hands shall shine ever so clean:”
“If I am washed with snow water, and make my hands clean with soap;”
“If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean;”
If I say, 'I will forget my complaint, I will put off my sad face, and cheer up;'
I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that you will not hold me innocent.
I shall be condemned. Why then do I labor in vain?
If I wash myself with snow, and cleanse my hands with lye,
yet you will plunge me in the ditch. My own clothes shall abhor me.
For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, that we should come together in judgment.
There is no umpire between us, that might lay his hand on us both.
