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 it, whether thou refuse, or whether thou choose; and not I: therefore speak what thou knowest.
The verse belongs to Elihu's speech and reproof to Job, part of the Elihu section of the book spanning chapters 32 through 37. It comes after the argument between Job and his friends, in which Elihu tries to correct Job along much the same line as the others and receives no answer. The speeches in the book were truly spoken, but that does not mean every word spoken in them is true; they must be read as part of the whole book and not isolated from it.
The verse challenges Job over whether God should repay and govern events according to Job's own mind and preference rather than God's wisdom, declaring that God will recompense whether Job refuses or chooses, and calling on him to speak what he knows. It teaches submission to God's dealings instead of complaining when human plans are frustrated, because God acts in wisdom, grace, and justice for worthy purposes and orders events for believers' good; believers should prefer his will to their own and seek to accept his providence willingly, not merely endure it. Its immediate context is the span of Job 31-38.
