But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?

All thy commandments {are} faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me. {faithful: Heb. faithfulness}

This {is} the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God. {appointed...: Heb. of his decree from God}

I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.

Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.

The wicked man travaileth with pain all {his} days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.

Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice?

For this {is} thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. {thankworthy: or, thank}

And it was {so}, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me {the thing that is} right, as my servant Job {hath}.

They run and prepare themselves without {my} fault: awake to help me, and behold. {help: Heb. meet}

Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and {yet} had condemned Job.

That the triumphing of the wicked {is} short, and the joy of the hypocrite {but} for a moment? {short: Heb. from near}

Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but {there is} no judgment. {wrong: or, violence}

But ye {are} forgers of lies, ye {are} all physicians of no value.

Not for {any} injustice in mine hands: also my prayer {is} pure.

Because he hath oppressed {and} hath forsaken the poor; {because} he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not; {oppressed: Heb. crushed}

{Is} not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite?

Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth. {substance: or, estate} {the remnant...: or, their excellency}

If thou hast any thing to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify thee.

For truly my words {shall} not {be} false: he that is perfect in knowledge {is} with thee.

{If} I be wicked, why then labour I in vain?

Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?

Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

For this {is} thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. {thankworthy: or, thank}

Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
