Letting Others Judge

Not that he tried to live right
claiming his righteousness
not letting others be the judge
confidently assessing himself

In reading his story
the arguments with his friends
Job calling himself holy
the source of the things from God

Failing to truly be humble
a little too sure of himself
blessed only by God’s goodness
not by the works of his life
