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 34:35

Job 34:37 >>

My desire is that Job may be tried unto the end - abi yibbachen Aiyob , "My father, let Job be tried." So the Vulgate, Pater mi, probetur Job . But it may be as in the common translation, I wish Job to be tried; or, as Mr. Good renders it, Verily, let Job be pursued to conquest for replying like wicked men. This is a very harsh wish: but the whole chapter is in the same spirit; nearly destitute of mildness and compassion. Who could suppose that such arguings could come out of the mouth of the loving Savior of mankind? The reader will recollect that a very pious divine has supposed Elihu to be Jesus Christ!
