Job 16:17

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Not for any injustice in mine hands: also my prayer is pure.

If iniquity in thy hand, remove it far off, and wickedness shall not dwell in thy tents.

All the days the unjust one himself being pained, and numbering the years they were hidden to him terrifying.

Behold, I knew your purposes, and the devices ye will shake off against me.

Is not thine evil much? and no end to thine iniquities?

My justice I held fast, and I will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach from my days.

For I shall deliver the poor crying, and the orphan, and none helping to him.

O Jehovah my God, if I did this, if there is iniquity in my hand;

All this came to us, and we did not forget thee, and we lied not in thy covenant

If thou shalt seek to God, if thou shalt make supplication to him;

If I saw vanity in my heart, Jehovah will not hear.

The sacrifice of the unjust an abomination of Jehovah: and the prayer of the upright his acceptance.

I will therefore men shall pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without anger and reasoning.
