Job 34:6

Justice

4 Let us choose for ourselves what is right; let us learn together what is good.

5 For Job has declared, ‘I am righteous, yet God has deprived me of justice.

Would I lie about my case? My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.’

7 What man is like Job, who drinks up derision like water?

8 He keeps company with evildoers and walks with wicked men.
