Context
34:32 Teach me what I cannot see . If I have done evil , I will do so no more .’

34:36 But Job will be tested to the end , because his answers are like those of wicked men .
34:37 For he adds transgression to his sin ; in our midst he claps his hands, and multiplies his words against God .”
