Job 34:5

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment.

‘Although You know that I am not guilty or wicked,
Yet there is no one who can rescue me from Your hand.

“For you have said, ‘My teaching (doctrine) [that God knowingly afflicts the righteous] is pure,
And I am innocent in your eyes.’

Although there is no violence or wrongdoing in my hands,
And my prayer is pure.

“I put on righteousness, and it clothed me;
My justice was like a robe and a turban!

So these three men ceased answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes [and could not be persuaded otherwise by them].

‘I am pure, without transgression;
I am innocent and there is no guilt in me.
