Against You alone have I sinned, and done evil before You; that You might be justified in Your words, and might overcome when You are judged.

Certainly not! Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar, just as it is written: "That You may be justified in Your words, and You may overcome when You are judged."

For what the Holy God has purposed, who shall frustrate? And who shall turn back His uplifted hand?

except it also take away your covenant of death, and your trust in Hades shall by no means stand; if the rushing storm should come upon you, you shall be beaten down by it.

Brothers, I speak in human fashion: A covenant is of a man, yet having been confirmed, no one annuls or adds to it.

And this I say, that the law, which was four hundred and thirty years later, does not annul the covenant previously confirmed to Christ by God, so that it make the promise of no effect.

For on the one hand an annulment comes about of the preceding commandment on account of its weakness and uselessness.

Is it good before You if I am unrighteous? For You have disowned the work of Your hands, and attended to the counsel of the ungodly.

As God lives, who has thus judged me; and the Almighty, who has embittered my soul;

my lips shall not speak evil words, neither shall my soul meditate unrighteous thoughts.

but keeping fast to my righteousness, I will by no means let it go: for I am not conscious to myself of having done anything amiss.

Then Elihu the son of Barachiel, the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram, of the land of Uz, was angered: and he was very angry with Job, because he justified himself before the Lord.

For Job has said, I am righteous: the Lord has removed my judgment.

And He has erred in my judgment: my wound is severe without unrighteousness of mine.

What is this that you think is right? Who are you that you have said, I am righteous before the Lord?

I will answer you, and your three friends.
