“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.’
