Job 33:9

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.

Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of thy hand.

For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thy eyes.

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

My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.

Far be it from me 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 judgment was as a robe and a diadem.

If the scourge shall slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent.

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

Yet thou sayest, Because I am innocent, surely his anger will turn from me. Behold, I will plead with thee, because thou sayest, I have not sinned.

Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.
