28. So that they caused the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heard the cry of the afflicted.

29. When he giveth quietness, who then can condemn? and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done unto a nation, or unto a man, alike:

30. That the godless man reign not, that there be none to ensnare the people.

31. For hath any said unto God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more:

32. That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do it no more?

33. Shall his recompence be as thou wilt, that thou refusest it? for thou must choose, and not I: therefore speak what thou knowest.

34. Men of understanding will say unto me, yea, every wise man that heareth me:

35. Job speaketh without knowledge, and his words are without wisdom.

36. Would that Job were tried unto the end, because of his answering like wicked men.

37. For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God.
