Job 34:33

Justice

31 Suppose someone says to God, ‘I have endured my punishment; I will offend no more.

32 Teach me what I cannot see; if I have done wrong, I will not do it again.’

Should God repay you on your own terms when you have disavowed His? You must choose, not I; so tell me what you know.

34 Men of understanding will declare to me, and the wise men who hear me will say:

35 ‘Job speaks without knowledge; his words lack insight.’
