Job 9:30

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

If I should wash myself with snow and cleanse my hands with lye,

In context

28 I would still dread all my sufferings; I know that You will not acquit me.

29 Since I am already found guilty, why should I labor in vain?

30 If I should wash myself with snow and cleanse my hands with lye,

31 then You would plunge me into the pit, and even my own clothes would despise me.

32 For He is not a man like me, that I can answer Him, that we can take each other to court.
