39 Why? will he complain a person living a man on (sins his. *Q(K)*)
Mwanadamu yeyote aliye hai aweza kulalamika wakati anapoadhibiwa kwa ajili ya dhambi zake?

kile adui zangu wanachonongʼona na kunungʼunikia dhidi yangu mchana kutwa.
63 Sitting their and rising their look at! I [am] mocking song their.
Watazame! Wakiwa wameketi au wamesimama, wananidhihaki katika nyimbo zao.
