Job 34:5-9
Legacy Standard Bible
5 For Job has said, ‘(A)I am righteous,
But (B)God has removed my justice;
6 [a]Should I lie concerning my justice?
My [b](C)wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.’
7 What man is like Job,
Who (D)drinks up mocking like water,
8 But he travels (E)in company with the workers of iniquity,
And walks with wicked men?
9 For he has said, ‘(F)It is of no use to a man
When he [c]is pleased with God.’
Job 34:5-9
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)
