"Yet the righteous holds his way, and he that has clean hands grows stronger." Despite all, the righteous person persists in his way, and the clean-handed grows stronger. This verse seems to assert a counterpoint to Job's degradation: righteousness has its own momentum, its own strength. Yet the verse's function in the chapter is ambiguous—is it affirmation or bitter irony?
