36 Oh, that Job might be tested to the utmost

for answering like a wicked man!

37 To his sin he adds rebellion;

scornfully he claps his hands among us

and multiplies his words against God.”

36 My desire is that Job may be tried unto the end

Because of his answers for wicked men.

37 For he addeth rebellion unto his sin,

He clappeth his hands among us,

And multiplieth his words against God.

36 Job, you deserve the maximum penalty

for the wicked way you have talked.

37 For you have added rebellion to your sin;

you show no respect,

and you speak many angry words against God.”

36 Oh, that Job were tried to the utmost,

Because his answers are like those of wicked men!

37 For he adds rebellion to his sin;

He claps his hands among us,

And multiplies his words against God.”

36 I wish Job would be tested completely,

because he answered like an evil man!

37 Job now adds to his sin by turning against God.

He claps his hands in protest,

speaking more and more against God.”

36 Would that Job were tried unto the end,

Because of his answering like wicked men.

37 For he addeth rebellion unto his sin;

He clappeth his hands among us,

And multiplieth his words against God.

36 Would that Job may be tried unto the end, because of his answers after the manner of evil men! 37 For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against •God.

36 “My Father, let Job be thoroughly tested 

for giving answers like wicked people do. 

37 He adds disobedience to his sin. 

He claps his hands to insult us. 

He multiplies his words against God.” 

36 If only Job were tested to the limit,

because his answers are like those of wicked men.

37 For he adds rebellion to his sin;

he scornfully claps in our presence,

while multiplying his words against God.

36 Would that Job were tried to the limit,

because his answers are those of the wicked.

37 For he adds rebellion to his sin;

he claps his hands among us,

and multiplies his words against God.”

36 Would that Job were tested up to the end

because his answers are like those from men of mischief,

37 for he adds transgression to his sin;

he claps hands among us,

and he multiplies his words against God.’ ”

36 I wish Job would be put to the hardest test!

He answered like someone who is evil.

37 To his sin he adds even more sin.

He claps his hands and makes fun of us.

He multiplies his words against God.”

36 ‘Job ought to be tried to the limit,

Because he answers like wicked men.

37 ‘For he adds rebellion to his sin;

He claps his hands among us,

And multiplies his words against God.’ ”
