This chapter is Job's final defence in this book's debate about human suffering. First of all Job lists the sins he has not committed like lust ("to look lustfully at a girl"), deceit, adultery ("enticed by a woman"), injustice to servants, negligence concerning the poor, and greed "pure gold" and "great wealth"). Job requests again for God to hear his case saying: "Oh, that I had someone to hear me! I sign now my defence - let the Almighty answer me". "Let God weigh me in honest scales and he will know that I am blameless".
