Job 34:29 Context

◄ 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,

Context

29When He keeps quiet, who then can condemn?
And when He hides His face, who then can behold Him,
That is, in regard to both nation and man?—

30So that godless men would not rule
Nor be snares of the people.

31“For has anyone said to God,
‘I have borne chastisement;
I will not offend anymore;

32Teach me what I do not see;
If I have done iniquity,
I will not do it again’?

33“Shall He recompense on your terms, because you have rejected it?
For you must choose, and not I;
Therefore declare what you know.

34“Men of understanding will say to me,
And a wise man who hears me,

35‘Job speaks without knowledge,
And his words are without wisdom.

36‘Job ought to be tried to the limit,
Because he answers like wicked men.

37‘For he adds rebellion to his sin;
He claps his hands among us,
And multiplies his words against God.’”
