- the uprightness:
- "And the LORDª saidª° unto¹ Satan,ª Hast thou consideredªª°¹ my servantª Job,ª that¹ [there is] none¹ like him¹ in the earth,ª a perfectª and an uprightª man,ª one that fearethª God,ª and eschewethª° evil?ª¹" {Job 1:8} + "Not¹ for¹ [any] injusticeª in mine hands:ª also my prayerª [is] pure.ª" {Job 16:17} + "My footª hath heldª° his steps,ª his wayª have I kept,ª° and not¹ declined.ª° ... Neither¹ have I gone backª° from the commandmentª of his lips;ª I have esteemedª° the wordsª of his mouthª more than my necessaryª¹ [food]." {Job 23:11-12} + "God forbidª that¹ I should justifyª° you: till¹ I dieª° I will not¹ removeª° mine integrityª from¹ me. ... My righteousnessª I hold²° fast,¹ and will not¹ let it go:ª° my heartª shall not¹ reproachª° [me] so long as I live.ª¹" {Job 27:5-6} + "Because¹ I deliveredª° the poorª that cried,ª° and the fatherless,ª and [him that had] none¹ to helpª° him. ... And I brakeª° the jawsª of the wicked,ª and pluckedª° the spoilª out of his teeth.ª¹" {Job 29:12-17} + "I madeª° a covenantª with mine eyes;ª why¹ then should I thinkª° upon¹ a maid?ª ... Let thistlesª growª° instead¹ of wheat,ª and cockleª instead¹ of barley.ª The wordsª of Jobª are ended.ª°" {Job 31:1-40}
