24. When the land falls into the hands of evil people,he covers the judges’ faces so they can’t see it.If it is not God who does this, then who is it?
25. “My days go by faster than a runner;they fly away without my seeing any joy.
26. They glide past like paper boats.They attack like eagles swooping down to feed.
27. Even though I say, ‘I will forget my complaint;I will change the look on my face and smile,’
28. I still dread all my suffering.I know you will hold me guilty.
29. I have already been found guilty,so why should I struggle for no reason?
30. I might wash myself with soapand scrub my hands with strong soap,
31. but you would push me into a dirty pit,and even my clothes would hate me.
32. “God is not human like me, so I cannot answer him.We cannot meet each other in court.
