Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,
Will you even put me in the wrong? Will you condemn me that you may be in the right?
“Do you think this to be just? Do you say, ‘It is my right before God,’

Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger,
But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
And he looked around at them with anger, grieved at their hardness of heart, and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was restored.

For Job has said, ‘I am in the right, and God has taken away my right; in spite of my right I am counted a liar; my wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.’

Does it seem good to you to oppress, to despise the work of your hands and favor the designs of the wicked?
