Job 34:28-37 Common English Bible (CEB)

28. causing the cry of the poor to reach him,he hears the cry of the afflicted.

29. Still, if he remains quiet, who can condemn;if he hides his face, who can see him?

30. He prevents a lawless person from ruling,from capturing people.

31. Has Job said to God,"I have borne punishment; I won’t sin again?

32. You teach me what I can’t see;if I’ve sinned, I won’t do it again."

33. Will he repay you because you reject sin,for you must choose, not I;declare what you know.

34. Smart people say to me,the wise who hear me,

35. "Job speaks without knowledge;his words aren’t astute."

36. I wish Job would be tested to the limitbecause he responds like evil people.

37. He adds rebellion to his sin;mocks us openlyand adds to his words against God.
