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
Holman Christian Standard Bible
5 For Job has declared, “I am righteous,
yet God has deprived me of justice.(A)
6 Would I lie about my case?(B)
My wound[a] is incurable,
though I am without transgression.”
7 What man is like Job?
He drinks derision(C) like water.
8 He keeps company with evildoers
and walks with wicked men.
9 For he has said, “A man gains nothing
when he becomes God’s friend.”(D)
