For Job has said: "I am just, yet God has subverted my judgment.
And you know that I have done nothing impious, yet there is no one who can deliver from your hand.
For you said: "My word is pure, and I am clean in your sight."
If I will be judged, I know that I will be found to be just.
My face is swollen from weeping, and my eyelids have dimmed my vision.
Behold, I will cry out, enduring violence, and no one will hear. I will announce loudly, but there is no one who may judge.
As God lives, who has taken away my judgment, and the Almighty, who has led my soul to bitterness,
I put on justice, and I clothed myself with my judgment, like a robe and a diadem.
But these three men ceased to answer Job, because he considered himself justified.
"I am clean and without sin; I am immaculate, and there is no iniquity in me.
Let us choose judgment for ourselves, and let us consider among ourselves what is best.
Respond, I beg you, without contention, and, speaking what is just, pass judgment.
Does God supplant judgment, or does the Almighty subvert that which is just?
For he will crush me in a whirlwind and multiply my wounds, even without cause.
Why do you say this, O Jacob, and why do you speak this way, O Israel? "My way has been hidden from the Lord, and my judgment escaped notice by my God."
