Job 9:29
King James VersionSource notes
“I be wicked, why then labour I in vain?”
Context
26They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle hasteth to the prey.
27If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort
28I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.
29I be wicked, why then labour I in vain?
30If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean;
31Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me.
32For not a man, as I I should answer him, we should come together in judgment.
