Job 34:9 Context
7What man is like Iob, who drinketh vp scorning like water? 8Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquitie, and walketh with wicked men. 9For hee hath said, It profiteth a man nothing, that he should delight himselfe with God. 10Therefore hearken vnto me, ye men of vnderstanding: farre bee it from God, that he should doe wickednes, and from the Almighty, that hee should commit iniquitie. 11For the worke of a man shall he render vnto him, and cause euery man to finde according to his wayes.
