For Job has said, I am righteous: and God has taken away my judgment.
I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me.
As God lives, who has taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who has troubled my soul;
So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was like a robe and a crown.
Not for any injustice in my hands: also my prayer is pure.
For you have said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in your eyes.
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.
Turn back, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, turn back again, my righteousness is in it.
Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.
Let us choose for ourselves judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good.
Why do you say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over by my God?
Does God pervert judgment? or does the Almighty pervert justice?
Behold, I cry out concerning wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment.
