⁶ It is by your mouth, even yours, that you are judged to be in the wrong, and not by me; and your lips give witness against you.

²² He said to him, By the words of your mouth you will be judged, you bad servant. You had knowledge that I am a hard man, taking up what I have not put down and getting in grain where I have not put seed;

³⁷ For by your words will your righteousness be seen, and by your words you will be judged.

²⁰ Though I was in the right, he would say that I was in the wrong; I have done no evil; but he says that I am a sinner.

⁶⁵ Then the high priest, violently parting his robes, said, He has said evil against God: what more need have we of witnesses? for now his words against God have come to your ears:

⁸ The evil of their tongues is the cause of their fall; all those who see them are shaking their heads at them.

³ Who is this who makes dark the purpose of God by words without knowledge? For I have been talking without knowledge about wonders not to be searched out.

⁸ Let them be covered together in the dust; let their faces be dark in the secret place of the underworld.

² Does it seem to you to be right, and righteousness before God, to say,

³ What profit is it to me, and how am I better off than if I had done wrong?

⁵ For Job has said, I am upright, and it is God who has taken away my right;

⁶ Though I am right, still I am in pain; my wound may not be made well, though I have done no wrong.

⁷ What man is like Job, a man who freely makes sport of God,

⁸ And goes in the company of evil-doers, walking in the way of sinners?

⁹ For he has said, It is no profit to a man to take delight in God.

⁸ But you said in my hearing, and your voice came to my ears:

⁹ I am clean, without sin; I am washed, and there is no evil in me:

¹⁰ See, he is looking for something against me; in his eyes I am as one of his haters;

¹¹ He puts chains on my feet; he is watching all my ways.

¹² Truly, in saying this you are wrong; for God is greater than man.
