Job 34:5-9

International Standard Version

‘Even though I’m innocent,
    God has stopped treating me righteously.
⁶ Have I lied concerning the justice that I deserve?^[a]
    My wound^[b] is incurable,
        though transgression cannot be attributed to me.’

⁷ “What man is like Job,
    who drinks mockery like water,
⁸ traffics in those who practice evil,
    and walks with wicked people?
⁹ Because he says, ‘There’s no profit
    for a man to find joy with God.’”^[c]
