16. And if God came into courtwhen I called him,he would not hear my case.
17. He would strike me with a stormand increase my injuriesfor no reason at all.
18. Before I could get my breath,my miseries would multiply.
19. God is much stronger than I am,and who would call me into courtto give me justice?
20. Even if I were innocent,God would prove me wrong.
21. I am not guilty,but I no longer carewhat happens to me.
22. What difference does it make?God destroys the innocentalong with the guilty.
23. When a good person diesa sudden death,God sits back and laughs.
24. And who else but Godblindfolds the judges,then lets the wickedtake over the earth?
25. My life is speeding by,without a hope of happiness.
26. Each day passes swifterthan a sailing shipor an eagle swooping down.
27. Sometimes I try to be cheerfuland to stop complaining,
28. but my sufferings frighten me,because I know that Godstill considers me guilty.
29. So what's the use of tryingto prove my innocence?
30. Even if I washed myselfwith the strongest soap,
31. God would throw me into a pitof stinking slime, leaving medisgusting to my clothes.
