Think you this to be right, that you said, My righteousness is more than God’s?
And he said unto him, Out of your own mouth will I judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I was a severe man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping what I did not sow:
Will you also annul my judgment? will you condemn me, that you may be righteous?
For Job has said, I am righteous: and God has taken away my justice.
Not for any violence in my hands: also my prayer is pure.
You know that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of your hand.
For he breaks me with a tempest, and multiplies my wounds without cause.
Elihu spoke moreover, and said,
I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me.
