Job 34:8

8 que va en compañía de los que hacen iniquidad, y anda con hombres perversos?

Job 34:8 Meaning and Commentary

Job 34:8

Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity
The worst of men, who make it their constant business and employment to commit sin:

and walketh with wicked men;
the most abandoned of mankind. Not that Job kept company with such, and walked with them in all excess of not; nor did Elihu think so; Job was "a man that feared God, and eschewed evil", and evil men; he was "a companion of them that feared the Lord"; his delight was "with the excellent of the earth": nor should a good man keep company and walk with the wicked, nor can he with any pleasure. But the sense is, that by his words, the expressions that dropped from his lips, he seemed to agree with them, and to be of the same sentiments with them; and what he delivered tended to encourage and harden them in their sinful ways; and what those words were follow.

Job 34:8 In-Context

6 "¿He de mentir respecto a mi derecho? Mi herida es incurable, sin haber yo cometido transgresión."

7 ¿Qué hombre es como Job, que bebe el escarnio como agua,

8 que va en compañía de los que hacen iniquidad, y anda con hombres perversos?

9 Porque ha dicho: "Nada gana el hombre cuando se complace en Dios."

10 Por tanto, escuchadme, hombres de entendimiento. Lejos esté de Dios la iniquidad, y del Todopoderoso la maldad.
