²⁹ Let your minds be changed, and do not have an evil opinion of me; yes, be changed, for my righteousness is still in me.

¹⁰ But come back, now, all of you, come; and I will not see a wise man among you.

¹⁰ For he has knowledge of the way I take; after I have been tested I will come out like gold.

⁴ Truly, there is no deceit in my lips, and my tongue does not say what is false.

⁵ Let it be far from me! I will certainly not say that you are right! I will come to death before I give up my righteousness.

⁶ I will keep it safe, and will not let it go: my heart has nothing to say against any part of my life.

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

⁶ For this cause I give witness that what I said is false, and in sorrow I take my seat in the dust.

¹⁸ Then you will again see how the upright man is different from the sinner, and the servant of God from him who is not.
