Job insisted he had done no wrong

24 “Answer me now, and then I will be quiet;

tell me what wrong things I have done!

25 When people speak what is true, that will not hurt the person who hears it,

but what you say, criticizing me, is not true, so your saying it proves nothing [RHQ]!

26 I am a man who has nothing to hope for,

but you try to correct me, and you think what I say is nothing but wind [RHQ]!

27 You do not sympathize with me at all for all that I am suffering.

You are heartless! You would even gamble to see who gets an orphan as a prize!

28 Please look at me! I will not [RHQ] lie to you.

29 Stop saying that I have sinned, and stop criticizing me unjustly!

You should realize that I have not done things that are wrong.

30 Do you think that I am lying?

No, I am not lying, because I know what is right and what is wrong [RHQ].”
