MSG

WEB
28I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that you will not hold me innocent.

30If I wash myself with snow, and cleanse my hands with lye,
MSG
30Even if I scrub myself all overand wash myself with the strongest soap I can find,
WEB
31yet you will plunge me in the ditch. My own clothes shall abhor me.
MSG
31It wouldn't last—you'd push me into a pigpen, or worse,so nobody could stand me for the stink.

32For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, that we should come together in judgment.
MSG
32"God and I are not equals; I can't bring a case against him.We'll never enter a courtroom as peers.
WEB
33There is no umpire between us, that might lay his hand on us both.
MSG
33How I wish we had an arbitratorto step in and let me get on with life—
WEB
34Let him take his rod away from me. Let his terror not make me afraid;
MSG
34To break God's death grip on me,to free me from this terror so I could breathe again.
WEB
35then I would speak, and not fear him, for I am not so in myself.
MSG
35Then I'd speak up and state my case boldly.As things stand, there is no way I can do it.
