He sends storms to batter and bruise me without any reason at all.

You know that I am not guilty, that no one can save me from you.

You claim that what you say is true; you claim you are pure in the sight of God.

but I am not guilty of any violence, and my prayer to God is sincere.

I follow faithfully the road he chooses, and never wander to either side.

I always do what God commands; I follow his will, not my own desires.

I will never say that you men are right; I will insist on my innocence to my dying day.

I will never give up my claim to be right; my conscience is clear.

I have always acted justly and fairly.

When an innocent person suddenly dies, God laughs.

(SEE 9:27)

Those who claim to be honest are shocked, and they all condemn me as godless.

you say, 'I am innocent; surely the LORD is no longer angry with me.' But I, the LORD, will punish you because you deny that you have sinned.
