9:22 “It is all one! 1 That is why I say, 2
‘He destroys the blameless and the guilty.’
9:23 If a scourge brings sudden death, 3
he mocks 4 at the despair 5 of the innocent. 6
9:30 If I wash myself with snow water, 7
and make my hands clean with lye, 8
9:31 then you plunge me into a slimy pit 9
and my own clothes abhor me.
21:14 So they say to God, ‘Turn away from us!
We do not want to 10 know your ways. 11
21:15 Who is the Almighty, that 12 we should serve him?
What would we gain
if we were to pray 13 to him?’ 14
21:16 But their prosperity is not their own doing. 15
The counsel of the wicked is far from me! 16
21:30 that the evil man is spared
from the day of his misfortune,
that he is delivered 17
from the day of God’s wrath?
22:17 They were saying to God, ‘Turn away from us,’
and ‘What can the Almighty do to us?’ 18
35:3 But you say, ‘What will it profit you,’ 19
and, ‘What do I gain by not sinning?’ 20
