Job 9:27-31

27⌞Even⌟ if I say, ‘I will forget my complaining; I will change my expression and smile,’

28I ⌞still⌟ dread everything I must suffer. I know that you won’t declare me innocent.

29I’ve already been found guilty. Why should I work so hard for nothing?

30If I wash myself with lye soap and cleanse my hands with bleach,

31then you would plunge me into a muddy pit, and my own clothes would find me disgusting.
