1 | Using Job 34:32 to understand 35:3? | Job 34:32 | Ray | 151464 | ||
The 1977 NASB copyright for Job 34:32 reads, "Teach Thou me what I do not see; If I have done iniquity, I will do it no more?" With the l995 copyright using "You" instead of "Thou" it would be awkward to render it, "Teach You me what I do not see." I believe that the new copyright did well in changing the verse to read like the Amplified and the NKJ. I have learned sometime through the years to compare this verse with John 7:17. John 7:17, "If any man is willing to do (His) will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of **God, or whether I speak from Myself. 18 He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory;..." Job 34:31, "For has anyone said to (God), 'I have borne chastisement; I will not offend anymore; 32 Teach me what I do not see; If I have done iniquity, I will do it no more'? 33 "Shall **He recompense on your terms, because you have rejected it? For you must choose, and not I; Therefore declare what you know." The parentheses and ** are mine for comparisons. 1) Does a comparison of these verses help you in deciding the reading for Job 35:3? "For you say, 'What advantage will it be to You? [Marginal note, Or, you] What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?" Should it be You or you for Job 35:3? From the heart, Ray |

Hi Ray, "Should it be You or you for Job 35:3?" If you read the context it is Elihu speaking to Job. Why would you want to make Job divine? Job 35:1 Moreover Elihu answered and said, Job 35:2 Thinkest thou this to be thy right, Or sayest thou, My righteousness is more than God's, Job 35:3 That thou sayest, What advantage will it be unto thee? And, What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned? terrib |

Hi terrib, I agree with you. Yet both the NKJ and the NASB have a capitalized You. Although, in fairness to the NASB it has in the marginal note [Or, you]. We should say to (God), "Teach me what I do not see." Job34:32 "But no one says, "Where is God my (Maker), Who gives songs in the night, 11 Who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth, And makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?'" From the heart, Ray |
