Job 33:9

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

He crushes me with a tempest. He multiplies my wounds without cause.

You know that I am not guilty and that no one can force me from your hand!

You say to God: 'My beliefs are flawless and I am pure in your sight.'

There is no violence in my hands. My prayer is pure.

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

I will not admit you are in the right. Until I die, I will not deny my integrity!

I put on righteousness and it clothed me. My justice was like a robe and a turban.

If the scourge slays suddenly, God laughs at the plight of the innocent.

This shocks decent people. The innocent are against the godless people.

After all this you say: 'I am innocent. God will turn his anger from me. For I have not sinned.'

Job opens his mouth in empty talk. He multiplies words without knowledge.
