Bible verse
Should God repay you on your own terms when you have disavowed His? You must choose, not I; so tell me what you know.
Job 34:33 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 34.
29 But when He remains silent, who can condemn Him? When He hides His face, who can see Him? Yet He watches over both man and nation,
30 that godless men should not rule or lay snares for the people.
31 Suppose someone says to God, ‘I have endured my punishment; I will offend no more.
32 Teach me what I cannot see; if I have done wrong, I will not do it again.’
33 Should God repay you on your own terms when you have disavowed His? You must choose, not I; so tell me what you know.
34 Men of understanding will declare to me, and the wise men who hear me will say:
35 ‘Job speaks without knowledge; his words lack insight.’
36 If only Job were tried to the utmost for answering like a wicked man.
37 For he adds rebellion to his sin; he claps his hands among us and multiplies his words against God.”
KJV
[Should it be] according to thy mind? he will recompense it, whether thou refuse, or whether thou choose; and not I: therefore speak what thou knowest.
ASV
Shall his recompense be as thou wilt, that thou refusest it? For thou must choose, and not I: Therefore speak what thou knowest.
ERV
Shall his recompence be as thou wilt, that thou refusest it? for thou must choose, and not I: therefore speak what thou knowest.
