²² It is all the same; that is why I say,
    ‘He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.’^(A)
23 When a scourge^(B) brings sudden death,
    he mocks the despair of the innocent.^(C)
24 When a land falls into the hands of the wicked,^(D)
    he blindfolds its judges.^(E)
    If it is not he, then who is it?^(F)

²⁸ I still dread^(A) all my sufferings,
    for I know you will not hold me innocent.^(B)
29 Since I am already found guilty,
    why should I struggle in vain?^(C)
30 Even if I washed myself with soap^(D)
    and my hands^(E) with cleansing powder,^(F)
31 you would plunge me into a slime pit^(G)
    so that even my clothes would detest me.^(H)
