Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yes, return again, my righteousness is in it.

If thou wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.

My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.

I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem.

He shall pray to God, and he will be favorable to him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render to man his righteousness.

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

Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art: and thy righteousness may profit the son of man.

I will bring my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
