⁶ Thy mouth declareth thee wicked, and not I, And thy lips testify against thee.

²² `And he saith to him, Out of thy mouth I will judge thee, evil servant: thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what I did not sow!

³⁷ for from thy words thou shalt be declared righteous, and from thy words thou shalt be declared unrighteous.'

²⁰ If I be righteous, Mine mouth doth declare me wicked, Perfect I am! -- it declareth me perverse.

⁶⁵ Then the chief priest rent his garments, saying, -- `He hath spoken evil; what need have we yet of witnesses? lo, now ye heard his evil speaking;

⁸ And they cause him to stumble, Against them `is' their own tongue, Every looker on them fleeth away.

³ `Who `is' this, hiding counsel without knowledge?' Therefore, I have declared, and understand not, Too wonderful for me, and I know not.

⁸ Dost thou also make void My judgment? Dost thou condemn Me, That thou mayest be righteous?

² This hast thou reckoned for judgment: Thou hast said -- `My righteousness `is' more than God's?'

³ For thou sayest, `What doth it profit Thee! What do I profit from my sin?'

⁵ For Job hath said, `I have been righteous, And God hath turned aside my right,

⁶ Against my right do I lie? Mortal `is' mine arrow -- without transgression.'

⁷ Who `is' a man like Job? He drinketh scoffing like water,

⁸ And he hath travelled for company With workers of iniquity, So as to go with men of wickedness.

⁹ For he hath said, `It doth not profit a man, When he delighteth himself with God.'

⁸ Surely -- thou hast said in mine ears, And the sounds of words I hear:

⁹ `Pure `am' I, without transgression, Innocent `am' I, and I have no iniquity.

¹⁰ Lo, occasions against me He doth find, He doth reckon me for an enemy to Him,

¹¹ He doth put in the stocks my feet, He doth watch all my paths.'

¹² Lo, `in' this thou hast not been righteous, I answer thee, that greater is God than man.
