For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment.
Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of thine hand.
For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.
Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.
not for any injustice in mine hands: also my prayer is pure.
Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment.
As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul;
I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem.
So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me.
Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good.
Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return again, my righteousness is in it.
Doth God pervert judgment? Or doth the Almighty pervert justice?
For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.
Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the Lord, and my judgment is passed over from my God?
