“For Job has said, (A)‘I am righteous,
But (B)God has taken away my justice;
(C)Should I lie concerning my right?
My [a]wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.’
What man is like Job,
(D)Who drinks [b]scorn like water,
Who goes in company with the workers of iniquity,
And walks with wicked men?
For (E)he has said, ‘It profits a man nothing
That he should delight in God.’

For Job hath said, I am righteous,
And God hath taken away my right:
[a]Notwithstanding my right I am accounted a liar;
[b]My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.
What man is like Job,
Who drinketh up scoffing like water,
Who goeth in company with the workers of iniquity,
And walketh with wicked men?
For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing
That he should [c]delight himself with God.
