3 aFor the ear tests words
As the palate tastes food.
4 Let us choose justice for ourselves;
Let us know among ourselves what
is good.
5 “For Job has said,
a‘I am righteous,
But
bGod has taken away my justice;
6 aShould I lie concerning my
1 right?
My wound
is incurable,
though I am without transgression.’
7 What man
is like Job,
aWho drinks
1 scorn like water,
8 Who goes in company with the workers of iniquity,
And walks with wicked men?
9 For
ahe has said, ‘It profits a man nothing
That he should delight in God.’
