Job 16:17

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

if you put away the sin that is in your hand and allow no evil to dwell in your tent,

All his days the wicked man suffers torment and the ruthless through all the years stored up for him.

Oh, I know your thoughts, and your schemes to wrong me.

Is not your wickedness great? There is no end to your iniquities.

I will maintain my righteousness and never let go of it! My conscience will not reproach me as long as I live.

This is because I delivered the poor who cried, and the orphan who had no helper.

O Jehovah my God, if I have done this, if there is wrong in my hands,

Although all of this happened to us, we never forgot you. We never ignored your promise.

But if you will look to God and plead with the Almighty,

If I had thought about doing anything sinful, Jehovah would not have listened to me.

The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to Jehovah! The prayer of the upright is his delight.

I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger or argument.
