For Job has said, ‘(A)I am righteous,
But (B)God has taken away my right;
[a]Should I lie about my right?
My [b](C)wound is incurable, though I am without wrongdoing.’
What man is like Job,
Who (D)drinks up derision like water,
Who goes (E)in company with the workers of injustice,
And walks with wicked people?
For he has said, ‘(F)It is of no use to a man
When he becomes friends with God.’
