chapter_Job_34
Job 34:1: And Elihu answereth and saith: Job 34:2: Hear, O wise men, my words, And, O knowing ones, give ear to me. Job 34:3: For the ear doth try words, And the palate tasteth to eat. Job 34:4: Judgment let us choose for ourselves, Let us know among ourselves what is good. Job 34:5: For Job hath said, 'I have been righteous, And God hath turned aside my right, Job 34:6: Against my right do I lie? Mortal is mine arrow &#8212; without transgression.' Job 34:7: Who is a man like Job? He drinketh scoffing like water, Job 34:8: And he hath travelled for company With workers of iniquity, So as to go with men of wickedness. Job 34:9: For he hath said, 'It doth not profit a man, When he delighteth himself with God.' Job 34:10: Therefore, O men of heart, hearken to me; Far be it from God to do wickedness, And from the Mighty to do perverseness: Job 34:11: For the work of man he repayeth to him, And according to the path of each He doth cause him to find. Job 34:12: Yea, truly, God doth not do wickedly, And the Mighty doth not pervert judgment. Job 34:13: Who hath inspected for Himself the earth? And who hath placed all the habitable world? Job 34:14: If He doth set on him His heart, His spirit and his breath unto Him He gathereth. Job 34:15: Expire doth all flesh together, And man to dust returneth. Job 34:16: And if there is understanding, hear this, Give ear to the voice of my words. Job 34:17: Yea, doth one hating justice govern? Or the Most Just dost thou condemn? Job 34:18: Who hath said to a king &#8212; 'Worthless,' Unto princes &#8212; 'Wicked?' Job 34:19: That hath not accepted the person of princes, Nor hath known the rich before the poor, For a work of His hands are all of them. Job 34:20: In a moment they die, and at midnight Shake do people, and they pass away, And they remove the mighty without hand. Job 34:21: For His eyes are on the ways of each, And all his steps He doth see. Job 34:22: There is no darkness nor death-shade, For workers of iniquity to be hidden there; Job 34:23: For He doth not suffer man any more, To go unto God in judgment, Job 34:24: He breaketh the mighty &#8212; no searching! And He appointeth others in their stead. Job 34:25: Therefore He knoweth their works, And He hath overturned by night, And they are bruised. Job 34:26: As wicked He hath stricken them, In the place of beholders. Job 34:27: Because that against right They have turned aside from after Him, And none of His ways have considered wisely, Job 34:28: To cause to come in unto Him The cry of the poor, And the cry of the afflicted He heareth. Job 34:29: And He giveth rest, and who maketh wrong? And hideth the face, and who beholdeth it? And in reference to a nation and to a man, It is the same. Job 34:30: From the reigning of a profane man, From the snares of a people; Job 34:31: For unto God hath any said: 'I have taken away, I do not corruptly, Job 34:32: Besides that which I see, shew Thou me, If iniquity I have done &#8212; I do not add?' Job 34:33: By thee doth He recompense, That thou hast refused &#8212; That thou dost choose, and not I? And what thou hast known, speak. Job 34:34: Let men of heart say to me, And a wise man is hearkening to me. Job 34:35: Job &#8212; not with knowledge doth he speak, And his words are not with wisdom. Job 34:36: My Father! let Job be tried &#8212; unto victory, Because of answers for men of iniquity, Job 34:37: For he doth add to his sin, Transgression among us he vomiteth, And multiplieth his sayings to God.
