Job 34:5-9

New International Reader's Version

⁵ “Job says, ‘I’m not guilty of doing anything wrong.
    But God doesn’t treat me fairly.
⁶ Even though I’m right,
    he thinks I’m a liar.
Even though I’m not guilty,
    his arrows give me wounds that can’t be healed.’
⁷ Is there anyone like Job?
    He accuses God as easily as he drinks water.
⁸ He’s a companion of those who do evil.
    He spends his time with sinful people.
⁹ He asks, ‘What good is it
    to try to please God?’
