33 The absence of the preposition before the complement adds greater vividness to the statement: “and knowing your ways—we do not desire.”
34 Contrast Ps 25:4, which affirms that walking in God’s ways means to obey God’s will—the Torah.
35 The interrogative clause is followed by ki, similar to Exod 5:2, “Who is Yahweh, that I should obey him?”
36 The verb פָּגַע (paga’) means “to encounter; to meet,” but also “to meet with request; to intercede; to interpose.” The latter meaning is a derived meaning by usage.
37 The verse is not present in the . It may be that it was considered too blasphemous and therefore omitted.
38 Heb “is not in their hand.” The implication of this statement is that their well-being is from God, which is the problem Job is raising in the chapter. A number of commentators make it a question, interpreting it to mean that the wicked enjoy prosperity as if it is their right. Some emend the text to say “his hands”—Gordis reads it, “Indeed, our prosperity is not in his hands.”
39 Even though their life seems so good in contrast to his own plight, Job cannot and will not embrace their principles—“far be from me their counsel.”

In other versions

They say to God, ‘Depart from us!

We do not desire the knowledge of your ways.

What is the Almighty, that we should serve him?

And what profit do we get if we pray to him?’

Behold, is not their prosperity in their hand?

The counsel of the wicked is far from me.

Yet they say to God, ‘Leave us alone!

We have no desire to know your ways.

Who is the Almighty, that we should serve him?

What would we gain by praying to him?’

But their prosperity is not in their own hands,

so I stand aloof from the plans of the wicked.

Yet they say to God, “Leave us alone!

We don’t want to know your ways.

Who is the Almighty, that we should serve him,

and what will we gain by pleading with him?”

But their prosperity is not of their own doing.

The counsel of the wicked is far from me!

And yet they say to God, ‘Go away.

We want no part of you and your ways.

Who is the Almighty, and why should we obey him?

What good will it do us to pray?’

(They think their prosperity is of their own doing,

but I will have nothing to do with that kind of thinking.)

And they say to God, ‘Turn away from us,

for we do not desire to know your ways.

Who is Shaddai that we should serve him,

or what would we benefit when we plead with him?’

Look, their prosperity is not in their hands;

the schemes of the wicked are repugnant to me.

Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us;

For we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.

What is the Almighty, that we should serve him?

And what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?

Lo, their good is not in their hand:

The counsel of the wicked is far from me.
