29If I be wicked, why then labor I in vain?


In Context

26 They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle that hastens to the prey.

27 If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort myself:

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

29 If I be wicked, why then labor I in vain?

30 If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean;

31 Yet shall you plunge me in the ditch, and my own clothes shall abhor me.
