What man [is] like Job, [Who] drinks scorn like water,
8
Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men.
8
Who goes in company with the workers of iniquity, And walks with wicked men?
9
For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.

10
" Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding: Far be it from God [to do] wickedness, And [from] the Almighty to [commit] iniquity.
11
For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.
11
For He repays man [according to] his work, And makes man to find a reward according to [his] way.
12
Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.
12
Surely God will never do wickedly, Nor will the Almighty pervert justice.

If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;
14
If He should set His heart on it, [If] He should gather to Himself His Spirit and His breath,
15
All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust.
15
All flesh would perish together, And man would return to dust.

17
Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just?
17
Should one who hates justice govern? Will you condemn [Him who is] most just?
18
Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes, Ye are ungodly?
18

24
He breaks in pieces mighty men without inquiry, And sets others in their place.

Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
25
Therefore he knows their works; He overthrows [them] in the night, And they are crushed.
26
He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others;
26
He strikes them as wicked [men] In the open sight of others,
27
Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways:
27
Because they turned back from Him, And would not consider any of His ways,
28
So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.
28
So that they caused the cry of the poor to come to Him; For He hears the cry of the afflicted.
29
When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only:
29
When He gives quietness, who then can make trouble? And when He hides [His] face, who then can see Him, Whether [it is] against a nation or a man alone? --

Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more:
31
" For has [anyone] said to God, 'I have borne [chastening;] I will offend no more;
32
That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.
32
Teach me [what] I do not see; If I have done iniquity, I will do no more'?
33

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

34
"Men of understanding say to me, Wise men who listen to me:
35
Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom.
35
'Job speaks without knowledge, His words [are] without wisdom.'
36
My desire is that Job may be tried unto the end because of his answers for wicked men.

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

For he adds rebellion to his sin; He claps [his hands] among us, And multiplies his words against God."
