6. For, within my judgment, there is a lie: my vehement barbs are without any sin."
7. What man is there that is like Job, who drinks up derision as if it were water,
8. who accompanies those who work iniquity, and who walks with impious men?
9. For he has said, "Man will not please God, even if he should travel with him."
10. Therefore, prudent men, hear me: impiety is far from God, and iniquity is far from the Almighty.
11. For he will restore to man his works, and according to the ways of each, he will repay them.
12. For truly, God will not condemn in vain, nor will the Almighty repudiate judgment.
13. What other is established over the earth? Or whom has he placed over the world, which he made?
14. But, if he directs his heart towards him, he will draw his spirit and breath to himself.
15. All flesh will fail together, and man will return to ashes.
16. Therefore, if you have understanding, hear what is said, and heed the sound of my eloquence.
