| Job 34:1 |
|
Furthermore Elihu answered and said, |
|
|
|
|
| Job 34:2 |
|
Hear my words, O ye wise men; and give ear unto
me, ye that have knowledge. |
| |
|
|
| Job 34:3 |
|
For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth
meat. |
| |
|
|
| Job 34:4 |
|
Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among
ourselves what is good. |
| |
|
|
| Job 34:5 |
|
For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath
taken away my judgment. |
| |
|
|
| Job 34:6 |
|
Should I lie against my right? my wound is incurable
without transgression. |
| |
|
|
| Job 34:7 |
|
What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning
like water? |
|
|
|
| Job 34:8 |
|
Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity,
and walketh with wicked men. |
|
|
|
| Job 34:9 |
|
For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing
that he should delight himself with God. |
|
|
|
| Job 34:10 |
|
Therefore hearken unto me ye men of understanding:
far be it from God, that he should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that
he should commit iniquity. |
|
|
|
| Job 34:11 |
|
For the work of a man shall he render unto him,
and cause every man to find according to his ways. |
|
|
|
| Job 34:12 |
|
Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither
will the Almighty pervert judgment. |
|
|
|
| Job 34:13 |
|
Who hath given him a charge over the earth?
or who hath disposed the whole world? |
|
|
|
| Job 34:14 |
|
If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto
himself his spirit and his breath; |
|
|
|
| Job 34:15 |
|
All flesh shall perish together, and man shall
turn again unto dust. |
|
|
|
| Job 34:16 |
|
If now thou hast understanding, hear this: hearken
to the voice of my words. |
|
|
|
| Job 34:17 |
|
Shall even he that hateth right govern? and
wilt thou condemn him that is most just? |
|
|
|
| Job 34:18 |
|
Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked?
and to princes, Ye are ungodly? |
|
|
|
| Job 34:19 |
|
How much less to him that accepteth not the
persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all are
the work of his hands. |
| |
|
|
| Job 34:20 |
|
In a moment shall they die, and the people shall
be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without
hand. |
| |
|
|
| Job 34:21 |
|
For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he
seeth all his goings. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 34:22 |
|
There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where
the workers of iniquity may hide themselves. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 34:23 |
|
For he will not lay upon man more than right;
that he should enter into judgment with God. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 34:24 |
|
He shall break in pieces mighty men without
number, and set others in their stead. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 34:25 |
|
Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth
them in the night, so that they are destroyed. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 34:26 |
|
He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight
of others; |
|
|
|
|
| Job 34:27 |
|
Because they turned back from him, and would
not consider any of his ways: |
|
|
|
|
| Job 34:28 |
|
So that they cause the cry of the poor to come
unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 34:29 |
|
When he giveth quietness, who then can make
trouble? and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done
against a nation, or against a man only: |
|
|
|
|
| Job 34:30 |
|
That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people
be ensnared. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 34:31 |
|
Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have
borne chastisement, I will not offend any more: |
|
|
|
|
| Job 34:32 |
|
That which I see not teach thou me: if I have
done iniquity, I will do no more. |
|
|
|
|
| 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. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 34:34 |
|
Let men of understanding tell me, and let a
wise man hearken unto me. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 34:35 |
|
Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words
were without wisdom. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 34:36 |
|
My desire is that Job may be tried unto the
end because of his answers for wicked men. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 34:37 |
|
For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth
his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God. |
