14 How much less do I — I answer Him? Choose out my words with Him?
Indeed? for I I will answer him I will choose words my with him.
15 Whom, though I were righteous, I answer not, For my judgment I make supplication.

If to power a strong [one] there! and if to justice who? will he summon me.
20 If I be righteous, Mine mouth doth declare me wicked, Perfect I am! — it declareth me perverse.
Though I am righteous own mouth my it will condemn as guilty me [am] blameless I and it declared guilty me.
21 Perfect I am! — I know not my soul, I despise my life.
[am] blameless I not I know self my I reject life my.
22 It is the same thing, therefore I said, 'The perfect and the wicked He is consuming.'
[is] one It there-fore I say [the] blameless and [the] wicked he [is] bringing to an end.

They have passed on with ships of reed like an eagle [which] it rushes on food.
27 Though I say, 'I forget my talking, I forsake my corner, and I brighten up!'
If to say I I will forget complaint my I will let loose face my and I will be cheerful.
28 I have been afraid of all my griefs, I have known that Thou dost not acquit me.
I dread all pains my I know that not you will acquit me.
29 I — I am become wicked; why [is] this? [In] vain I labour.
I I will be guilty why? this vanity will I labor.
30 If I have washed myself with snow-water, And purified with soap my hands,
If I washed myself (in water of *Q(K)*) snow and I cleansed with potash hands my.
31 Then in corruption Thou dost dip me, And my garments have abominated me.
Then in pit you will dip me and they will abhor me own clothes my.
32 But if a man like myself — I answer him, We come together into judgment.
For not [he is] a human like me I will answer him we will come together in judgment.
33 If there were between us an umpire, He doth place his hand on us both.
Not there between us [is] an arbiter he may put hand his on [the] two of us.
34 He doth turn aside from off me his rod, And His terror doth not make me afraid,
Let him remove from on me rod his and dread his may not it terrify me.
35 I speak, and do not fear Him, But I am not right with myself.
I will speak and not I will fear him for not [am] thus I with myself.
