And the Lord said to the Satan, Have you taken note of my servant Job, for there is no one like him on the earth, a man without sin and upright, fearing God and keeping himself far from evil? and he still keeps his righteousness, though you have been moving me to send destruction on him without cause.

And his wife said to him, Are you still keeping your righteousness? Say a curse against God, and put an end to yourself.

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

Doth God pervert justice? Or doth the Almighty pervert righteousness?

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

Let it be far from me! I will certainly not say that you are right! I will come to death before I give up my righteousness.

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.

let my righteousness be weighed in honest scales, and God will make known my integrity.

He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto 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 fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.

The Almighty—we cannot reach Him—He is exalted in power!He will not oppress justice and abundant righteousness,
