Job 34:33

Verse 33 of 37. The 34th of 42 chapters in Job, in Poetry and Wisdom.

29When he gives quietness, who then can condemn? When he hides his face, who then can see him? He is over a nation or a man alike,

30that the godless man may not reign, that there be no one to ensnare the people.

31“For has any said to God, ‘I am guilty, but I will not offend any more.

32Teach me that which I don’t see. If I have done iniquity, I will do it no more’?

33Shall his recompense be as you desire, that you refuse it? For you must choose, and not I. Therefore speak what you know.

34Men of understanding will tell me, yes, every wise man who hears me:

35‘Job speaks without knowledge. His words are without wisdom.’

36I wish that Job were tried to the end, because of his answering like wicked men.

37For he adds rebellion to his sin. He claps his hands among us, and multiplies his words against God.”
