Job 6:29

The Scriptures 1998

Relent, please, let there be no unrighteousness. Relent! My righteousness is still in it.

See the chapter Copy

If I am wrong, woe to me! And if I am righteous, I would not lift up my head – filled with shame and seeing my grief!

I have become a laughing-stock to my friends – one who has called on Eloah and He answered him! A laughing-stock is the righteous, the perfect one!

Look, please, I have prepared my case, I know that I am in the right.

But please, come back again, all of you, for I do not find a wise one among you.

know then that Eloah has overthrown me, and has surrounded me with His net.

For He knows the way that I take. When He has tried me, I would come forth as gold.

For Iyoḇ

And Iyoḇ

Therefore I despise myself, and repent in dust and ashes.”

“Then you shall again see the difference between the righteous and the wrong, between one who serves Elohim and one who does not serve Him.
