Bible in Basic English
"Though I am right, still I am in pain; my wound may not be made well, though I have done no wrong."
— Job 34:6, Bible in Basic English
“Should I lie against my right? my wound is incurable without transgression.”
For words are tested by the ear, as food is tasted by the mouth.
Let us make the decision for ourselves as to what is right; let us have the knowledge among ourselves of what is good.
For Job has said, I am upright, and it is God who has taken away my right;
Though I am right, still I am in pain; my wound may not be made well, though I have done no wrong.
What man is like Job, a man who freely makes sport of God,
And goes in the company of evil-doers, walking in the way of sinners?
For he has said, It is no profit to a man to take delight in God.
