Job 34:31

Context
Job Is Foolish to Rebel

34:31 “Has anyone said to God,

‘I have endured chastisement, 1 

but I will not act wrongly any more.

1 tn The Hebrew text has only “I lift up” or “I bear” (= I endure). The reading “I have been led astray” is obtained by changing the vowels to read a passive. If the MT is retained, an object has to be supplied, such as “chastisement” (so RSV, NASB) or “punishment” (NRSV). If not, then a different reading would be followed (e.g., “I was misguided” [NAB]; “I am guilty” [NIV]).
