31  “For has anyone said to God,

‘I have borne punishment; I will not offend any more;

32  teach me what I do not see;

if I have done iniquity, I will do it no more’?

33  Will he then make repayment to suit you,

because you reject it?

For you must choose, and not I;

therefore declare what you know.¹

34  Men of understanding will say to me,

and the wise man who hears me will say:

35  ‘Job speaks ^dwithout knowledge;

his words are without insight.’

36  Would that Job were tried to the end,

because he answers like wicked men.

37  For he adds rebellion to his sin;

he claps his hands among us

and ^emultiplies his words against God.”
