The LORD said to Hasatan, *Have you considered my servant Iyov? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. He still maintains his integrity, although you incited me against him, to ruin him without cause.*
Then the wrath of Elihu the son of Barakh'el, the Buzite, of the family of Ram, was kindled against Iyov. His wrath was kindled because he justified himself rather than God.
I have become foolish in boasting. You compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you, for in nothing was I inferior to the very best emissaries, though I am nothing.
