Scripture focus

5. For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment. 6. Should I lie against my right? my wound [is] incurable without transgression. 7. What man [is] like Job, [who] drinketh up scorning like water? 8. Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men. 9. For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.

Commentary on Job 34:5

Theological / Devotional

Job hath said. Verses 5-9 review Job’s charges against God. Elihu states that Job charged God with afflicting him, although he was righteous. This was, in truth, the basis of Job’s problem. He could not harmonize his misfortunes with his sense of having lived righteously.
