Job 6:29

Tree of Life Version

Relent, do not be unjust; reconsider, for my righteousness is in it.

If I am guilty, woe to me! Even if I am innocent, I cannot lift my head. I am full of shame and conscious of my affliction.

“I have become a laughingstock to my friend, though I called on God and He answered— a righteous and blameless man is a laughingstock!

See now, I have prepared my case; I know that I will be vindicated.

“But turn, all of you, come now! I will not find a wise man among you.

then know that God has wronged me and encircled me with His net.

Yet He knows the way that I take; if He tested me, I would come out as gold.

“For Job says, ‘I am righteous, but God has deprived me of justice.

Job answered Adonai and said:

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

Then you will return and distinguish between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him.”
