⁵ for Job has said, ‘I am righteous,
but God has taken away my justice.
⁶ Should I lie concerning my justice?
Though I am without transgression, my wound caused by an arrow is incurable.’
⁷ What man is like Job,
who drinks scorn like water?
⁸ And he goes on the road in company with instigators of mischief,
and walks with men of wickedness.
⁹ Indeed, he says, ‘A man does not profit
when he takes delight in God.’
