Job 34:35
33 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:
‘Job speaks without knowledge; his words lack insight.’
36 If only Job were tried to the utmost for answering like a wicked man.
37 For he adds rebellion to his sin; he claps his hands among us and multiplies his words against God.”
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
