Job 34:6

Would I lie about my case? My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.’

Job 34:6 · BSB

Job 34:6 in context

The verses around it, from Job 34.

2 “Hear my words, O wise men; give ear to me, O men of learning.

3 For the ear tests words as the mouth tastes food.

4 Let us choose for ourselves what is right; let us learn together what is good.

5 For Job has declared, ‘I am righteous, yet God has deprived me of justice.

6 Would I lie about my case? My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.’

7 What man is like Job, who drinks up derision like water?

8 He keeps company with evildoers and walks with wicked men.

9 For he has said, ‘It profits a man nothing that he should delight in God.’

10 Therefore listen to me, O men of understanding. Far be it from God to do wrong, and from the Almighty to act unjustly.
