20Though I be righteous, mine own mouth shall condemn me: Though I be perfect, it shall prove me perverse.

21I am perfect; I regard not myself; I despise my life.

22It is all one; therefore I say, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.

23If the scourge slay suddenly, He will mock at the trial of the innocent.

24The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; He covereth the faces of the judges thereof: If [it be] not [he], who then is it?

25Now my days are swifter than a post: They flee away, they see no good,

26They are passed away as the swift ships; As the eagle that swoopeth on the prey.
