2 Do you think it right to say,“I am in the right, not God”?
3 When you ask what it profits you,“What advantage do I have from not sinning?”
4 I have words for a reply to youand your friends as well.
5 Look up to the skies and see;behold the heavens high above you.
6 If you sin, what do you do to God?Even if your offenses are many, how do you affect him?
7 If you are righteous, what do you give him,or what does he receive from your hand?
8 Your wickedness affects only someone like yourself,and your justice, only a fellow human being.
