“For Job has said, ‘I am righteous,
    but God has taken away my judgment.
Should I lie concerning my right?
    My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.’
What man is like Job,
    who drinks scorn like water,
who goes in company with the workers of iniquity
    and walks with wicked men?
For he has said, ‘It profits a man nothing
    that he should delight himself in God.’
