Context of Job 34:35
33Should it be according to thy mind? he will recompense it, whether thou shalt refuse, or whether thou shalt choose; and not I: therefore speak what thou knowest. 34Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken to me. Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom. 36My desire is that Job may be tried to the end because of his answers for wicked men. 37For he addeth rebellion to his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God.
