The righteous see their destruction and rejoice; the innocent mock them scornfully, saying,

what he stores up a righteous man will wear, and an innocent man will inherit his silver.

But the righteous man holds to his way, and the one with clean hands grows stronger.

Do you really think that one who hates justice can govern? And will you declare guilty the supremely righteous One,

I am a laughingstock to my friends, I, who called on God and whom he answered – a righteous and blameless man is a laughingstock!

So these three men refused to answer Job further, because he was righteous in his own eyes.

He does not take his eyes off the righteous; but with kings on the throne he seats the righteous and exalts them forever.
