Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yes, return again, my righteousness is in it.
If I be wicked, woe to me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see you my affliction;
I am as one mocked of his neighbor, who calls on God, and he answers him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn.
Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.
But as for you all, do you return, and come now: for I cannot find one wise man among you.
Know now that God has overthrown me, and has compassed me with his net.
But he knows the way that I take: when he has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
For Job has said, I am righteous: and God has taken away my judgment.
Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
Why I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.
Then shall you return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serves God and him that serves him not.
