4 Let’s decide for ourselves what is right,and let’s learn together what is good.
5 “Job says, ‘I am not guilty,and God has refused me a fair trial.
6 Instead of getting a fair trial,I am called a liar.I have been seriously hurt,even though I have not sinned.’
7 There is no other man like Job;he takes insults as if he were drinking water.
8 He keeps company with those who do eviland spends time with wicked men,
9 because he says, ‘It is no useto try to please God.’
