Job 33:9

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me.

For he breaks me with a tempest, and multiplies my wounds without cause.

You know that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of your hand.

For you have said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in your eyes.

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

My foot has held fast to his steps, his way have I kept, and not turned aside.

God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove my integrity from me.

I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my justice was as a robe and a turban.

If the scourge slays suddenly, he will laugh at the plight of the innocent.

Upright men shall be astonished at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite.

Yet you say, Because I am innocent, surely his anger shall turn from me. Behold, I will plead with you, because you say, I have not sinned.

Therefore does Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplies words without knowledge.
