Job 34:8

Verse 8 of 37. The 34th of 42 chapters in Job, in Poetry and Wisdom.

4Let us choose for us that which is right. Let us know among ourselves what is good.

5For Job has said, ‘I am righteous, God has taken away my right.

6Notwithstanding my right I am considered a liar. My wound is incurable, though I am without disobedience.’

7What man is like Job, who drinks scorn like water,

8who goes in company with the workers of iniquity, and walks with wicked men?

9For he has said, ‘It profits a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.’

10“Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness, from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.

11For the work of a man he will give to him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.

12Yes surely, God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert justice.
