Job 34:32-34
New English Translation
32 teach me what I cannot see;[a]
if I have done evil, I will do so no more’?
33 Is it your opinion[b] that God[c] should recompense it,

so tell us what you know.
34 Men of understanding say to me—
any wise man listening to me says—

- Job 34:32 tn Heb “what I do not see,” more specifically, “apart from [that which] I see.”

- Job 34:33 tn There is no object on the verb, and the meaning is perhaps lost. The best guess is that Elihu is saying Job has rejected his teaching.
