Job 34:5-9

The Voice

⁵     After all, Job has told us, “I am innocent,
        but God has denied my right to a fair hearing.
⁶     Though I am right, should I lie and claim to be wrong? No.
        Let me put it to you simply:
    I am gravely wounded as by an arrow,
        but I am innocent.”
⁷     What other man is comparable to Job?
        He drinks disdain like water.
⁸     He is not like the one who runs with the workers of wickedness
        and associates himself with evil people.
⁹     In fact he even suggests, “A person receives no benefit
        from pleasing God.”
