²⁹ Turn back, I pray you, let it not be perverseness, Yea, turn back again -- my righteousness `is' in it.

¹⁰ Return, and come in, I pray you, And I find not among you a wise man.

¹⁰ For He hath known the way with me, He hath tried me -- as gold I go forth.

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.

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

⁶ Therefore do I loathe `it', And I have repented on dust and ashes.

¹⁸ And ye have turned back and considered, Between the righteous and the wicked, Between the servant of God and him who is not His servant.
