29I shall be mcondemned;
why then do I labor in vain?
30If I wash myself with snow
and ncleanse my hands with lye,
31yet you will plunge me into a pit,
and my own clothes will oabhor me.

Since I am already found guilty,
why should I struggle in vain?
Even if I washed myself with soap
and my hands with cleansing powder,
you would plunge me into a slime pit
so that even my clothes would detest me.

NLTNew Living Translation
Whatever happens, I will be found guilty.
So what’s the use of trying?
Even if I were to wash myself with soap
and clean my hands with lye,
you would plunge me into a muddy ditch,
and my own filthy clothing would hate me.

And mine own clothes shall abhor me.
