5 “For Job has said, (A)‘I am righteous,But (B)God has taken away my justice;
2 “As God lives, (A)who has taken away my justice,And the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter,
9 ‘I(A) am pure, without transgression;I am innocent, and there is no iniquity in me.
32 So these three men ceased answering Job, because he was (A)righteous in his own eyes.
17 Although no violence is in my hands,And my prayer is pure.
14 (A)I put on righteousness, and it clothed me;My justice was like a robe and a turban.
4 For you have said,(A)‘My doctrine is pure,And I am clean in your eyes.’
7 Although You know that I am not wicked,And there is no one who can deliver from Your hand?
17 For He crushes me with a tempest,And multiplies my wounds (A)without cause.
