Job 34:5-9
1599 Geneva Bible
5 For Job hath said, I am righteous, and God hath taken [a]away my judgment.
6 Should I lie in my [b]right? my wound of the arrow is [c]grievous without my sin.
7 What man is like Job, that drinketh [d]scornfulness like water?
8 Which goeth in the [e]company of them that work iniquity, and walketh with wicked men?
9 For he hath said, It [f]profiteth a man nothing that he should [g]walk with God.

Job 34:5-9
New International Version
5 “Job says, ‘I am innocent,(A)
but God denies me justice.(B)
6 Although I am right,
I am considered a liar;(C)
although I am guiltless,(D)
his arrow inflicts an incurable wound.’(E)
7 Is there anyone like Job,
who drinks scorn like water?(F)
8 He keeps company with evildoers;
he associates with the wicked.(G)
9 For he says, ‘There is no profit
in trying to please God.’(H)
