For Job hath said, I am righteous:
and God hath taken away my judgment.
Should I lie against my right?
my wound is incurable without transgression.
What man is like Job,
who drinketh up scorning like water?
Which 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 delight himself with God.

“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.’
