Job 34:6–10 · Berean Standard Bible

6 Would I lie about my case? My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.’

7 What man is like Job, who drinks up derision like water?

8 He keeps company with evildoers and walks with wicked men.

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

10 Therefore listen to me, O men of understanding. Far be it from God to do wrong, and from the Almighty to act unjustly.
