Job 34:1-10

1 You men are so wise, so clever; listen now to what I am saying.
3 You know good food when you taste it, but not wise words when you hear them.
4 It is up to us to decide the case.
5 Job claims that he is innocent, that God refuses to give him justice.
6 He asks, "How could I lie and say I am wrong? I am fatally wounded, but I am sinless."
7 Have you ever seen anyone like this man Job? He never shows respect for God.
8 He likes the company of evil people and goes around with sinners.
9 He says that it never does any good to try to follow God's will.
10 Listen to me, you men who understand! Will Almighty God do what is wrong?
