Job 34:31-37
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 34
31'For has anyone said to God, ‘I have endured punishment; I will not offend anymore; 32Teach me what I do not see; If I have done wrong, I will not do it again’? 33Shall God repay on your terms, because you have rejected His? For you must choose, and not I; Therefore declare what you know. 34Men of understanding will say to me, And a wise man who hears me, 35‘Job speaks without knowledge, And his words are without wisdom. 36Oh that Job were tested to the limit, Because he answers like sinners. 37For he adds rebellion to his sin; He claps his hands among us, And multiplies his words against God.’?'King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 34
31Suppose someone says to God, "I have endured my punishment; I will no longer act wickedly. 32Teach me what I cannot see; if I have done wrong, I won’t do it again." 33Should God repay you on your terms when you have rejected his? You must choose, not I! So declare what you know. 34Reasonable men will say to me, along with the wise men who hear me, 35"Job speaks without knowledge; his words are without insight." 36If only Job were tested to the limit, because his answers are like those of wicked men. 37For he adds rebellion to his sin; he scornfully claps in our presence, while multiplying his words against God.New Living Translation
Chapter 34
31'Why don’t people say to God, ‘I have sinned, but I will sin no more’? 32Or ‘I don’t know what evil I have done — tell me. If I have done wrong, I will stop at once’?
33'Must God tailor his justice to your demands? But you have rejected him! The choice is yours, not mine. Go ahead, share your wisdom with us.
34After all, bright people will tell me, and wise people will hear me say,
35‘Job speaks out of ignorance; his words lack insight.’
36Job, you deserve the maximum penalty for the wicked way you have talked.
37For you have added rebellion to your sin; you show no respect, and you speak many angry words against God.'
English Standard Version
Chapter 34
31"For has anyone said to God, ‘I have borne punishment; I will not offend any more; 32 teach me what I do not see; if I have done iniquity, I will do it no more’? 33Will he then make repayment to suit you, because you reject it? For you must choose, and not I; therefore declare what you know. 34Men of understanding will say to me, and the wise man who hears me will say: 35‘Job speaks without knowledge; his words are without insight.’ 36Would that Job were tried to the end, because he answers like wicked men. 37For he adds rebellion to his sin; he claps his hands among us and multiplies his words against God."New International Version
Chapter 34
31"Suppose someone says to God, ‘I am guilty but will offend no more. 32Teach me what I cannot see; if I have done wrong, I will not do so again.’
33Should God then reward you on your terms, when you refuse to repent? You must decide, not I; so tell me what you know.
34"Men of understanding declare, wise men who hear me say to me,
35‘Job speaks without knowledge; his words lack insight.’
36Oh, that Job might be tested to the utmost for answering like a wicked man!
37To his sin he adds rebellion; scornfully he claps his hands among us and multiplies his words against God."
New King James Version
