For Job has said, ‘I am righteous,
    God has taken away my right:
Notwithstanding my right I am considered a liar.
    My wound is incurable, though I am without disobedience.’
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 with God.’

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.’
