When He gives quietness, who then can make trouble? And when He hides His face, who then can see Him, Whether it is against a nation or a man alone?--
30
That the hypocrite should not reign, Lest the people be ensnared.
31
"For has anyone said to God, ' I have borne chastening; I will offend no more;
32
Teach me what I do not see; If I have done iniquity, I will do no more'?
33
Should He repay it according to your terms, Just because you disavow it? You must choose, and not I; Therefore speak what you know.
34
"Men of understanding say to me, Wise men who listen to me:
35
'Job speaks without knowledge, His words are without wisdom.'
36
Oh, that Job were tried to the utmost, Because his answers are like those of wicked men!
37
For he adds rebellion to his sin; He claps his hands among us, And multiplies his words against God."
