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)

Job 34:5-9
New American Standard Bible
5 For Job has said, ‘(A)I am righteous,
But (B)God has taken away my right;
6 [a]Should I lie about my right?
My [b](C)wound is incurable, though I am without wrongdoing.’
7 What man is like Job,
Who (D)drinks up derision like water,
8 Who goes (E)in company with the workers of injustice,
And walks with wicked people?
9 For he has said, ‘(F)It is of no use to a man
When he becomes friends with God.’
