So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
You say, ‘I am pure, without transgression; I am clean, and there is no iniquity in me.
although you know that I am not guilty, and there is none to deliver out of your hand?
There an upright man could argue with him, and I would be acquitted forever by my judge.
Though he slay me, I will hope in him; yet I will argue my ways to his face.
I will say to God, Do not condemn me; let me know why you contend against me.
Please turn; let no injustice be done. Turn now; my vindication is at stake.
Behold, I have prepared my case; I know that I shall be in the right.
For your iniquity teaches your mouth, and you choose the tongue of the crafty.
Is not your evil abundant? There is no end to your iniquities.
“Surely you have spoken in my ears, and I have heard the sound of your words.
Will you even put me in the wrong? Will you condemn me that you may be in the right?
