22. It is all the same, therefore I say, ‘He destroys the perfect and the wrong.’
23. If the scourge slays suddenly, He laughs at the trial of the innocent.
24. Earth has been given into the hand of the wrong. He covers the faces of its judges. If it is not He, then who is it?
25. My days have become swifter than a runner – they have fled, they have not seen good.
26. They have passed by like swift ships, like an eagle swooping on its prey.
27. If I say, ‘Let me forget my complaint, let me put off my sad face, and let me smile,’
28. I shall be afraid of all my sufferings. I know that You do not hold me innocent.
29. If I am wrong, why should I labour in vain?
