Though I were perfect, yet I would not know my soul. I would despise my life.
There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job. And that man was perfect and upright, and one who feared God and turned aside from evil.
You know that I am not wicked; and there is none who can deliver out of Your hand.
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.
You said, I am pure, without transgression; I am innocent, and no iniquity is in me;
Even that it would please God to destroy me; that He would loose His hand and cut me off!
And why do You not pardon my transgression, and take away my iniquity? For now I shall sleep in the dust, and You shall seek me in the morning, but I shall not be.
Whom, though I were righteous, yet I would not answer; I seek mercy for my judgment.
He who trusts in his own heart is a fool; but whoever walks wisely, he shall be delivered.
for I know nothing by myself. Yet I have not been justified by this, but He who judges me is the Lord.
that if our heart accuses us, God is greater than our heart and knows all things.
