His roots are wrapped about the heap, [and] seeth the place of stones.
If he destroy him from his place, then [it] shall deny him, [saying], I have not seen thee.
Behold, this [is] the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow.
Behold, God will not cast away a perfect [man], neither will he help the evil doers:
Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing.
They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought.
Then Job answered and said,
I know [it is] so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?
If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.
[He is] wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened [himself] against him, and hath prospered?
