Truly I know it is so, for how shall a mortal man be righteous before the Lord?

What, shall a mortal be pure before the Lord? Or a man be blameless in regard to his works?

And his three friends also ceased any longer to answer Job, for Job was righteous before them.

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.

If You, O Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

And enter not into judgment with Your servant, for in Your sight shall no [man] living be justified.

But he, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"

And He said to them, "You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. Because that which is exalted among men is an abomination before God.

You are guilty by the words of your mouth, neither have you discerned the words of the Mighty.

Let your own mouth reprove you, and not me, and your lips shall testify against you.

But Job has not spoken with understanding, his words are not [uttered] with knowledge.

Yet Job vainly opens his mouth, in ignorance he multiplies words.

By a multitude of words you shall not escape sin, but if you refrain your lips you will be prudent.

And I said, Woe is me, for I am pricked to the heart; for being a man, and having unclean lips, I dwell in the midst of a people having unclean lips; and I have seen with my eyes the King, the Lord of hosts.

But I say to you, that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.

For by your words you shall be justified, and by your words you shall be condemned."

For we all stumble in many [ways]. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a mature man, able also to bridle the whole body.

There was a certain man in the land of Uz, whose name [was] Job; and that man was true, blameless, righteous, and godly, abstaining from everything evil.

Not that I have already obtained, or have already been made perfect; but I press on, if also I may lay hold of that for which I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus.

I press toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

But you have said in my ears, (I have heard the voice of your words) because you say, I am pure, not having sinned;

Yet He has discovered a charge against me, and He has reckoned me as an adversary.

For how do you say, I am righteous, yet He has not listened to me? For He that is above mortals is eternal.

and the hard-hearted man finds no good. A man of a changeful tongue will fall into mischief,

constant wranglings of men of corrupt minds and having been deprived of the truth, supposing that godliness is a means of profit. Withdraw from such [people].
