²² In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.

¹⁰ But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.

¹² Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

²⁰ Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

⁷ That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

⁴ But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

⁴ Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.

⁵ Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.

⁶ Then answered the Lord unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

⁷ Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

⁸ Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?

¹⁸ Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes, Ye are ungodly?

¹⁹ How much less to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work of his hands.

¹⁰ Therefore hearken unto me ye men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.
