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)
Job 34:5-9
Common English Bible
5 for Job has said, “I’m innocent;
God has denied my just cause;
6 because of my cause I’m thought a liar;
my wound from an arrow is incurable, even though I didn’t rebel.”
7 Who is a man like Job?
He drinks mockery like water
8 and travels a path with wrongdoers,
walking with evil persons.
9 Indeed he said, “No one is rewarded
for delighting in God.”
Job 34:5-9
King James Version
5 For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment.
6 Should I lie against my right? my wound is incurable without transgression.
7 What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water?
8 Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men.
9 For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.
