⁶ Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I; Yea, thine own lips testify against thee.

²² He saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up that which I laid not down, and reaping that which I did not sow;

³⁷ For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

²⁰ Though I be righteous, mine own mouth shall condemn me: Though I be perfect, it shall prove me perverse.

⁶⁵ Then the high priest rent his garments, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy: what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard the blasphemy:

⁸ So they shall be made to stumble, their own tongue being against them: All that see them shall wag the head.

³ Who is this that hideth counsel without knowledge? Therefore have I uttered that which I understood not, Things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.

⁸ Wilt thou even annul my judgment? Wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be justified?

² Thinkest thou this to be `thy' right, `Or' sayest thou, My righteousness is more than God's,

³ That thou sayest, What advantage will it be unto thee? `And', What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?

⁵ For Job hath said, I am righteous, And God hath taken away my right:

⁶ Notwithstanding my right I am `accounted' a liar; My wound is incurable, `though I am' without transgression.

⁷ What man is like Job, Who drinketh up scoffing like water,

⁸ Who goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, And walketh with wicked men?

⁹ For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing That he should delight himself with God.

⁸ Surely thou hast spoken in my hearing, And I have heard the voice of `thy' words, `saying',

⁹ I am clean, without transgression; I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me:

¹⁰ Behold, he findeth occasions against me, He counteth me for his enemy:

¹¹ He putteth my feet in the stocks, He marketh all my paths.

¹² Behold, I will answer thee, in this thou art not just; For God is greater than man.
