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

² and burn doth the anger of Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram; against Job hath his anger burned, because of his justifying himself more than God;

⁴ let it not be! and let God become true, and every man false, according as it hath been written, `That Thou mayest be declared righteous in Thy words, and mayest overcome in Thy being judged.'

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.'

³ Is it good for Thee that Thou dost oppress? That Thou despisest the labour of Thy hands, And on the counsel of the wicked hast shone?

¹⁸ for a disannulling indeed doth come of the command going before because of its weakness, and unprofitableness,

¹⁷ and this I say, A covenant confirmed before by God to Christ, the law, that came four hundred and thirty years after, doth not set aside, to make void the promise,

¹⁵ Brethren, as a man I say `it', even of man a confirmed covenant no one doth make void or doth add to,

¹⁸ And disannulled hath been your covenant with death, And your provision with Sheol doth not stand, An overflowing scourge, when it passeth over, Then ye have been to it for a treading-place.

²⁷ For Jehovah of Hosts hath purposed, And who doth make void? And His hand that is stretched out, Who doth turn it back?'

⁴ Against Thee, Thee only, I have sinned, And done the evil thing in Thine eyes, So that Thou art righteous in Thy words, Thou art pure in Thy judging.

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?'

² God liveth! He turned aside my judgment, And the Mighty -- He made my soul bitter.

³ For all the while my breath `is' in me, And the spirit of God in my nostrils.

⁴ My lips do not speak perverseness, And my tongue doth not utter deceit.

⁵ Pollution to me -- if I justify you, Till I expire I turn not aside mine integrity from me.

⁶ On my righteousness I have laid hold, And I do not let it go, My heart doth not reproach me while I live.
