Job 34:5-9
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
5 For Job has said, ‘I am innocent,
and God has taken away my right;
6 in spite of being right I am counted a liar;
my wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.’(A)
7 Who is there like Job,
who drinks up scoffing like water,(B)
8 who goes in company with evildoers
and walks with the wicked?(C)
9 For he has said, ‘It profits one nothing
to take delight in God.’(D)
Job 34:5-9
New Living Translation
5 For Job also said, ‘I am innocent,
but God has taken away my rights.
6 I am innocent, but they call me a liar.
My suffering is incurable, though I have not sinned.’
7 “Tell me, has there ever been a man like Job,
with his thirst for irreverent talk?
8 He chooses evil people as companions.
He spends his time with wicked men.
9 He has even said, ‘Why waste time
trying to please God?’
