18:009:020 If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.
18:009:021 Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would despise my life.
18:009:022 This is one thing, therefore I said it, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.
18:009:023 If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent.
18:009:024 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he?
18:009:025 Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good.
18:009:026 They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle that hasteth to the prey.
18:009:027 If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort myself:
18:009:028 I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.
18:009:029 If I be wicked, why then labour I in vain?
