I am perfect; I regard not myself; I 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 that feared God, and eschewed evil.
Although thou knowest that I am not wicked; And there is none that can deliver out of thine hand?
I am as one that is a laughing-stock to his neighbour, A man that called upon God, and he answered him: The just, the perfect man is a laughing-stock.
Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I am righteous.
I am clean, without transgression; I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me:
Even that it would please God to crush me; That he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!
And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? For now shall I lie down in the dust; And thou shall seek me diligently, but I shall not be.
Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer; I would make supplication to mine adversary.
He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: But whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.
For I know nothing against myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.
whereinsoever our heart condemn us; because God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
