5For Job has declared, ‘I am righteous,
yet God has deprived me of justice.
6Would I lie about my case?
My wound is incurable,
though I am without transgression.’
7What man is like Job,
who drinks up derision like water?
8He keeps company with evildoers
and walks with wicked men.
9For he has said, ‘It profits a man nothing
that he should delight in God.’
10Therefore listen to me,
O men of understanding.
Far be it from God to do wrong,
and from the Almighty to act unjustly.
— Job 34:5-10
