For Job has said, ‘I am (A)in the right,
    and (B)God has taken away my right;

    my wound is incurable, though I am (C)without transgression.’

    who (D)drinks up scoffing like water,
who travels in company with evildoers
    and walks (E)with wicked men?
For (F)he has said, ‘It profits a man nothing
    that he should take delight in God.’
