And Jehovah said to Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God and abstaineth from evil? and still he remaineth firm in his integrity, though thou movedst me against him, to swallow him up without cause.

But as for me I will seek unto God, and unto God commit my cause;

Teach me, and I will hold my tongue; and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.

He, who crusheth me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.

Behold now, I have ordered the cause; I know that I shall be justified.

I would order the cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments;

I was a father to the needy, and the cause which I knew not I searched out;

If I have despised the cause of my bondman or of my bondmaid, when they contended with me,

For a man's work will he render to him, and cause every one to find according to his way.

So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.

Whether he cause it to come as a rod, or for his land, or in mercy.

To cause it to rain on the earth, where no one is; on the wilderness wherein there is not a man;

To satisfy the desolate and waste ground, and to cause the sprout of the grass to spring forth?
