³ Yahweh said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. He still maintains his integrity, although you incited me against him, to ruin him without cause."

⁸ Yahweh said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant, Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil."

⁵ Far be it from me that I should justify you. Until I die I will not put away my integrity from me.

⁶ I hold fast to my righteousness, and will not let it go. My heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.

¹⁷ For he breaks me with a tempest, Multiplies my wounds without cause.

¹ There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job. That man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God, and turned away from evil.

¹⁷ The highway of the upright is to depart from evil. He who keeps his way preserves his soul.

³ Jesus answered, "Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but, that the works of God might be revealed in him.

¹² Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, if it is so that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.

¹² Blessed is the man who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him.

⁷ that the proof of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes even though it is tested by fire, may be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ--

¹⁰ But may the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

⁸ The sacrifice made by the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh, But the prayer of the upright is his delight.

² He who walks in his uprightness fears Yahweh, But he who is perverse in his ways despises him.

⁶ Righteousness guards the way of integrity, But wickedness overthrows the sinner.

²⁰ Joab answered, Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy.

¹¹ But put forth your hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will renounce you to your face."

²¹ He said, "Naked I came out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return there. Yahweh gave, and Yahweh has taken away. Blessed be the name of Yahweh."

²² In all this, Job did not sin, nor charge God with wrongdoing.

²⁰ Though I am righteous, my own mouth shall condemn me. Though I am blameless, it shall prove me perverse.

¹⁵ Behold, he will kill me; I have no hope. Nevertheless, I will maintain my ways before him.

¹ > Judge me, Yahweh, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in Yahweh without wavering.

³⁷ Mark the perfect man, and see the upright, For there is a future for the man of peace.

¹² As for me, you uphold me in my integrity, And set me in your presence forever.

⁸ A righteous person is delivered out of trouble, And the wicked takes his place.

⁹ This is the history of the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time. Noah walked with God.
