In context
5For Job has said, I am righteous: The Lord has removed my judgment.
6And he has erred in my judgment: My wound is severe without unrighteousness of mine.
— Job 34:7 —
8Saying, I have not sinned, nor committed ungodliness, Nor had fellowship with workers of iniquity, To go with the ungodly.
9For thou shouldest not say, There shall be no visitation of a man, Whereas there is a visitation on him from the Lord.
