Job 34:33

Job 34:33

31 “For has anyone said to God,
‘I have borne chastening;
I will offend no more;

32 Teach me what I do not see;
If I have done iniquity, I will do no more’?

33 Should He repay it according to your terms,
Just because you disavow it?
You must choose, and not I;
Therefore speak what you know.

34 “Men of understanding say to me,
Wise men who listen to me:

35 ‘Job^a speaks without knowledge,
His words are without wisdom.’

36 Oh, that Job were tried to the utmost,
Because his answers are like those of wicked men!

37 For he adds ^arebellion to his sin;
He claps his hands among us,
And multiplies his words against God.”

<< Job 34:32

Job 34:34 >>

Rather, "should God recompense (sinners) according to thy mind? Then it is for thee to reject and to choose, and not me" [UMBREIT]; or as MAURER, "For thou hast rejected God's way of recompensing; state therefore thy way, for thou must choose, not I," that is, it is thy part, not mine, to show a better way than God's.
