"You can be sure that on the Judgment Day you will have to give account of every useless word you have ever spoken.

Your words will be used to judge you---to declare you either innocent or guilty."

He said to him, 'You bad servant! I will use your own words to condemn you! You know that I am a hard man, taking what is not mine and reaping what I have not planted.

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.

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

Can't you see it is God who has done this? He has set a trap to catch me.

I protest his violence, but no one is listening; no one hears my cry for justice.

(SEE 27:1)

my lips will never say anything evil, my tongue will never tell a lie.

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

Job claims that he is innocent, that God refuses to give him justice.

Are you trying to prove that I am unjust--- to put me in the wrong and yourself in the right?
