Turn back, please let there be no sin; yea, return again, my righteousness is in this matter.
If I am wicked, woe to me; and if I am righteous, I will not lift up my head, being filled with shame, and looking on my affliction.
I am a laughing-stock to his friends; who calls on God, and He answers him; the just, the upright one is a mockery;
Behold now, I have set my cause in order; I know that I shall be justified.
And now all of them, go back, and please come again; and I shall not find among you a wise man.
know now that God has overthrown me, and His net has closed on me.
But He knows the way that I take; when He has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
For Job has said, I am righteous; and God has taken away my right;
And Job answered Jehovah and said,
Therefore I despise myself, and repent in dust and ashes.
Then you shall again see the difference between the righteous and the wicked, between him who serves God, and him who does not serve Him.
