²⁰ Though I were righteous, my own mouth would condemn me;
Though I were blameless, it would prove me perverse.

²⁹ If I am condemned,
Why then do I labor in vain?

^6 (A)Your own mouth condemns you, and not I;
Yes, your own lips testify against you.

⁴ I would present my case before Him,
And fill my mouth with arguments.
