20Even if I were in the right, my own mouth would condemn me;o
if I were blameless, my mouth would declare me guilty.
21Though I am blameless,
I no longer care about myself;
I renounce my life.p
22It is all the same. Therefore I say,
“He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.”q

KJV 1900King James Version
If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me:
If I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.
Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul:
I would despise my life.
This is one thing, therefore I said it,
He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.
