Job 35:2

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God's?

He troubleth me so with the tempest, and woundeth me out of measure without a cause.

Whereas, notwithstanding, thou knowest that I am no wicked person, and that there is no man able to deliver me out of thine hand.

"Howbeit there is no wickedness in my hands, and my prayer is clean.

know this then: that it is God which hath handled me so violently, and hath compassed me about with his net.

"As truly as God liveth, which hath taken away my power from me; and the Almighty, that hath vexed my mind;

And why? Job hath said, 'I am righteous, but God doth me wrong.'

Wilt thou disannul my judgment? Or wilt thou condemn me, that thou thyself mayest be made righteous?

And yet the children of thy people say, 'Tush, the way of the LORD is not right,' whereas their own way is rather unright.
