15. Though I am innocent, all I can dois beg for mercy from God my judge.
16. Yet even then, if he lets me speak,I can't believe he would listen to me.
17. He sends storms to batter and bruise mewithout any reason at all.
18. He won't let me get my breath;he has filled my life with bitterness.
19. Should I try force? Try force on God?Should I take him to court? Could anyone make him go?
20. I am innocent and faithful, but my words sound guilty,and everything I say seems to condemn me.
21-22. I am innocent, but I no longer care.I am sick of living. Nothing matters;innocent or guilty, God will destroy us.
23. When an innocent person suddenly dies,God laughs.
24. God gave the world to the wicked.He made all the judges blind.And if God didn't do it, who did?
25. My days race by, not one of them good.
26. My life passes like the swiftest boat,as fast as an eagle swooping down on a rabbit.
27-28. If I smile and try to forget my pain,all my suffering comes back to haunt me;I know that God does hold me guilty.
29. Since I am held guilty, why should I bother?
30. No soap can wash away my sins.
31. God throws me into a pit of filth,and even my clothes are ashamed of me.
32. If God were human, I could answer him;we could go to court to decide our quarrel.
