² “Dominion and fear are with God;^[a]
    he makes peace in his high heaven.
³ Is there any number to his ^(B)armies?
    Upon whom does his ^(C)light not arise?
⁴ How then can man be ^(D)in the right before God?
    How can he who is ^(E)born of woman be ^(F)pure?
⁵ Behold, even the moon is not bright,
    and the stars are not pure in his eyes;
^6 (G)how much less man, who is ^(H)a maggot,
    and ^(I)the son of man, who is a worm!”

² “As God lives, who has ^(B)taken away my right,
    and the Almighty, who has ^(C)made my soul bitter,
³ as long as my breath is in me,
    and ^(D)the spirit of God is in my nostrils,
⁴ my lips will not speak ^(E)falsehood,
    and my tongue will not utter ^(F)deceit.
⁵ Far be it from me to say that you are right;
    till I die I will not put away my ^(G)integrity from me.
⁶ I ^(H)hold fast my righteousness and will not let it go;
    my heart does not ^(I)reproach me for any of my days.
