21  I am xblameless; I regard not myself;

I yloathe my life.


although you gknow that I am not guilty,

and there is hnone to deliver out of your hand?


For fyou say, My gdoctrine is pure,

and I am clean in God’s1 eyes.


I am da laughingstock to my friends;

I, who ecalled to God and he answered me,

a just and blameless man, am a laughingstock.


18  Behold, I have tprepared my case;

I know that I shall be in the right.


17  although there is no bviolence in my hands,

and my prayer is pure.


10  But he yknows zthe way that I atake;

when he has btried me, I shall come out as gold.

11  My foot chas held fast to his steps;

I have kept his way and have dnot turned aside.


Far be it from me to say that you are right;

till I die I will not put away my wintegrity from me.


14  I oput on righteousness, and it clothed me;

my justice was like a robe and pa turban.
