Job 34:33

[Should it be] according to thy mind? he will recompense it, whether thou refuse, or whether thou choose; and not I: therefore speak what thou knowest.

Should it be according to thy mind? he will recompense {H7999} it, whether thou refuse {H3588}{H3988}, or whether thou choose {H977}; and not I: therefore speak {H1696} what thou knowest {H3045}.

Must his rewards meet your approval? Well, you are the one who doesn't like them, so you, not I, should pick the alternative; come on, say what you think!

Should God repay you on your own terms when you have disavowed His? You must choose, not I; so tell me what you know.

Shall his recompense be as thou wilt, that thou refusest it? For thou must choose, and not I: Therefore speak what thou knowest.
