Context of Job 34:32
30So that godless men would not rule Nor be snares for the people. 31“For has anyone said to God, ‘I have endured my chastisement; I will not offend anymore; Teach me what I do not see [in regard to how I have sinned]; If I have done wrong (injustice, unrighteousness), I will not do it again’? 33Shall God’s retribution [for your sins] be on your terms, because you refuse to accept it? For you must do the choosing, and not I; Therefore say what you [truthfully] know. 34Men of understanding will tell me, Indeed, every wise man who hears me [will agree],
