For Job has said, I am righteous; also, God has turned away my right;
It is on Your knowing that I am not a wicked one; and there is no one delivering out of Your hand.
For you have said, My doctrine is pure; and, I am clean in Your eyes.
Behold now, I have set my cause in order; I know that I shall be justified.
though no violence is in my palm, and my prayer is pure.
Behold, I cry out, Violence! And I am not answered; I cry aloud, but there is no justice.
As God lives, He has turned aside my judgment; yea, the Almighty has made my soul bitter.
I put on righteousness and it clothed me; my judgment was like a robe and a turban.
And these three men rested from answering Job, because he was a righteous one in his own eyes.
You said, I am pure, without transgression; I am clean and no iniquity is in me;
Let us choose judgment for ourselves; let us know among ourselves what is good.
Turn back, please, let there be no wrong. Yea, turn back again, for my righteousness is in it.
Or does God pervert judgment? Or does the Almighty pervert the right?
He falls on me me with a tempest, and adds to my wounds without cause;
Why will you say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel; My way is hidden from Jehovah, and my judgment is passed over by my God?
