31 God would still push me into the slime pit,[a]
    and even my clothes would hate to touch me.
32 God is not a human like me, so I cannot argue with him.
    I cannot take him to court.
33 I wish there were someone who could listen to both sides,[b]
    someone to judge both of us in a fair way.
