Didst thou reckon this for judgment thou saidst, My justice is above God?
And he said to him, Out of thy month will I judge thee, O evil servant. Thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping what I sowed not:
Wilt thou also annul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me so that thou shalt be just?
For Job said, I was just: and God removed my judgment
Not for violence in my hands: and my prayer is clean.
Upon thy knowledge that I will not do evil; and none delivering from thy hand.
Who will assail me with tempest, and he multiplied my wounds without cause.
And Elihu will answer and say,
I am clean without transgression; I am fair, and no iniquity to me.
