Job 34:5-9
American Standard Version
5 For Job hath said, I am righteous,
And God hath taken away my right:
6 [a]Notwithstanding my right I am accounted a liar;
[b]My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.
7 What man is like Job,
Who drinketh up scoffing like water,
8 Who 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 [c]delight himself with God.
Job 34:5-9
Lexham English Bible
5 for Job has said, ‘I am righteous,
but God has taken away my justice.
6 Should I lie concerning my justice?
Though I am without transgression, my wound caused by an arrow is incurable.’
7 What man is like Job,
who drinks scorn like water?
8 And he goes on the road in company with instigators of mischief,
and walks with men of wickedness.
9 Indeed, he says, ‘A man does not profit
when he takes delight in God.’
