21 Perfect I am! -- I know not my soul, I despise my life.
         
                                
                        22 It is the same thing, therefore I said, `The perfect and  the wicked He is consuming.`
         
                                
                        23 If a scourge doth put to death suddenly, At the trial of  the innocent He laugheth.
         
                                
                        24 Earth hath been given Into the hand of the wicked one. The  face of its judges he covereth, If not -- where, who [is] he?
         
                                
                        25 My days have been swifter than a runner, They have fled,  they have not seen good,
         
                                
                        26 They have passed on with ships of reed, As an eagle darteth  on food.
         
                                
                        27 Though I say, `I forget my talking, I forsake my corner,  and I brighten up!`
