    and I am clean in God’s^[b] sight.’^(A)

⁷ although you know that I am not guilty,
    and there is no one to deliver out of your hand?^(A)

¹⁰ This would be my consolation;
    I would even exult^[a] in unrelenting pain,
    for I have not denied the words of the Holy One.^(A)

⁵ For Job has said, ‘I am innocent,
    and God has taken away my right;
⁶ in spite of being right I am counted a liar;
    my wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.’^(A)

⁴ Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean?
    No one can.^(A)

²⁰ If I sin, what do I do to you, you watcher of humanity?
    Why have you made me your target?
    Why have I become a burden to you?^(A)

²⁹ Turn, I pray; let no wrong be done.
    Turn now; my vindication is at stake.
³⁰ Is there any wrong on my tongue?
    Cannot my taste discern calamity?^(A)
