5 For Job has said, “I am innocent,but God has taken away what is my right.
6 I declare the judgment on me to be a lie;my arrow-wound is incurable, sinless though I am.”
7 What man is like Job?He drinks in blasphemies like water,
8 Keeps company with evildoersand goes along with the wicked,
9 When he says, “There is no profitin pleasing God.”
10 Therefore, you that have understanding, hear me:far be it from God to do wickedness;far from the Almighty to do wrong!
11 Rather, he requites mortals for their conduct,and brings home to them their way of life.
