Job 34:5-9
English Standard Version
5 For Job has said, ‘I am (A)in the right,
and (B)God has taken away my right;
6 in spite of my right I am counted a liar;
my wound is incurable, though I am (C)without transgression.’
7 What man is like Job,
who (D)drinks up scoffing like water,
8 who travels in company with evildoers
and walks (E)with wicked men?
9 For (F)he has said, ‘It profits a man nothing
that he should take delight in God.’
