30 Even if I washed myself with soap

and my hands with cleansing powder,

31 you would plunge me into a slime pit

so that even my clothes would detest me.

30 If I wash myself with snow

and cleanse my hands with lye,

31 yet you will plunge me into a pit,

and my own clothes will abhor me.

30 If I wash myself with snow water,

And make my hands never so clean;

31 Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch,

And mine own clothes shall abhor me.

30 Even if I were to wash myself with soap

and clean my hands with lye,

31 you would plunge me into a muddy ditch,

and my own filthy clothing would hate me.

30 If I wash myself with snow water,

And cleanse my hands with soap,

31 Yet You will plunge me into the pit,

And my own clothes will abhor me.

30 I might wash myself with soap

and scrub my hands with strong soap,

31 but you would push me into a dirty pit,

and even my clothes would hate me.

30 If I wash myself with snow water,

And make my hands never so clean;

31 Yet wilt thou plunge me in the ditch,

And mine own clothes shall abhor me.

30 If I wash myself with lye soap

and cleanse my hands with bleach, 

31 then you would plunge me into a muddy pit, 

and my own clothes would find me disgusting. 

30 If I wash myself with snow,

and cleanse my hands with lye,

31 then You dip me in a pit of mud,

and my own clothes despise me!

30 If I wash myself with soap

and cleanse my hands with lye,

31 yet you will plunge me into filth,

and my own clothes will abhor me.

30 If I wash myself with soap,

and I cleanse my hands with lye,

31 then you plunge me into the slime pit,

and my clothes abhor me.

30 Suppose I clean myself with soap.

Suppose I wash my hands with cleanser.

31 Even then you would throw me into a muddy pit.

And even my clothes would hate me.

30 “If I should wash myself with snow

And cleanse my hands with lye,

31 Yet You would plunge me into the pit,

And my own clothes would abhor me.
