Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job? No one else on earth is like him, a man of perfect integrity, who fears God and turns away from evil. He still retains his integrity, even though you incited Me against him, to destroy him without just cause.”

Then the LORD told Satan, "Very well then, he is under your control. Just preserve his life."

[Just] as I have seen, plowers of mischief and sowers of trouble will reap it.

Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?

But mankind is born headed for trouble, just as sparks soar skyward."

You'll go to your grave at a ripe old age; like a stack of grain that's harvested at just the right time.

"The arrows of the Almighty have pierced me; my spirit absorbs their poison; God's terrors have been arranged just for me!

that God would just be willing to crush me; that he would let loose and eliminate me!

"And now you're all just like them, aren't you? You see my terror and are terrified.

Did you intend your words to reprove, even though the speech of a desperate person is just wind?

I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?

Whom, if I was just, I shall not answer; I will make supplication to my judge.

If I shall be just, my mouth shall condemn me: I am blameless, and he will declare me perverse.

If I am guilty, woe to me! But if I am righteous, I dare not lift my head; [I am] filled [with] shame, and [just] look [at] my misery!

I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn.

“Does the ear not put words to the test,
Just as the palate tastes its food [distinguishing between the desirable and the undesirable]?

Just as ye know, I too, know, I, fall not short, of you.

I wish you'd all just shut up. Then at least you would appear to be wise.

Your maxims are just worthless proverbs; your defensive arguments are made of clay."

Water wears away stones; floods wash away topsoil from the land but you destroy the hope of human beings just like that!

“Should a wise man [such as you] utter such windy and vain knowledge [as we have just heard]
And fill himself with the east wind [of withering, parching, and violent accusations]?

“What is man, that he should be pure and clean,
Or he who is born of a woman, that he should be righteous and just?

I wish that someone might arbitrate
between a man and God
just as a man pleads for his friend.

And the just shall hold on his way, and the clean one of hands shall add strength.

Did it please to the Almighty that thou wilt be just? and if gain if thou wilt perfect thy ways?

Will he acquit you just because you fear him, and render a verdict on your behalf?

The just shall see and shall be glad: and the innocent shall deride at them.

He that is just shall enter disputation with him, and my judge shall deliver me forever.

They're exalted momentarily, but then they are gone; they are humbled, just like all the others. They are cut down like heads of corn.

How then can man be just with God? Or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?

He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.

just as I was in my most productive time, when God's intimate friendship was experienced in my tent,

I clothed myself in righteousness,
and it enveloped me;
my just decisions were like a robe and a turban.

Oh, let Him weigh me with accurate scales,
And let God know my integrity.

“I assure you, the men of my tent have said,
‘Who can find one [in need] who has not been satisfied with his meat’?

And these three men will cease from answering Job, for he is just in his eyes.

But Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite of the kindred of Ram, was very sore displeased at Job, that he called himself just before God.

I am just like you before God;
I was also pinched off from a piece of clay.

Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.

For Job said, I was just: and God removed my judgment

Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just?

Do you think it is just when you say,
“I am righteous before God”?

If thou wert just, what wilt thou give to him? or what shall he take from thy hand?

He will not take off his eyes from the just: and with kings upon the throne, and he will seat them for glory, and they shall be exalted.

Just listen to His thunderous voice
and the rumbling that comes from His mouth.

Indeed would you annul my justice and condemn me, just so you can claim that you're righteous?

"Look, Behemoth, which I have made just as [I made] you; it eats grass like the ox.

"Look! Anyone's hope to capture him will prove itself false; anyone would be terrified just by looking at him.

So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite [and] Zophar the Naamathite went and did just as Yahweh had told them, and {Yahweh accepted Job's prayer}.
