There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was blameless and upright, one who feared God, and turned away from evil.
although thou knowest that I am not guilty, and there is none to deliver out of thy hand?

whenever our hearts condemn us; for God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.
