5 Job says, ‘I am innocent, and God is not being fair to me.
6 I am right, but I am judged to be a liar. I have done no wrong, but I am badly hurt.’
7 “Would anyone but Job say such things? He has more thirst for insulting God than for water.
8 He is a friend of evil people. He likes to spend time with the wicked.
9 I know this because he says, ‘You will gain nothing if you try to please God.’
10 “You men can understand, so listen to me. God would never do what is evil! God All-Powerful would never do wrong.
11 He pays us back for what we have done. He gives us what we deserve.
