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.

KJV

Numquid a te Deus expetit eam, quia displicuit tibi ? tu enim cœpisti loqui, et non ego : quod si quid nosti melius, loquere.

Vulgate

μὴ ἀπὸ σοῦ ἀποτίσει αὐτήν, ὅτι ἀπώσῃ; ὅτι σὺ ἐκλέξῃ καὶ οὐκ ἐγώ· καὶ τί ἔγνως λάλησον.

LXX

Shall his recompense be as thou wilt, that thou refusest it? For thou must choose, and not I: Therefore speak what thou knowest.
