Job 34

1Moreover ElihuH453 answeredH559 and saidH559, 2HearH8085 my wordsH4405, ye wiseH2450 menH2450; and giveH238 earH238 unto meH3045, ye that have knowledgeH3045. 3For the earH241 trieth wordsH4405, as the palateH2441 tasteth meat. 4Let usH3045 chooseH977 for usH3045 that whichH4100 is rightH4941: let usH3045 knowH3045 among ourselvesH996 whatH4100 is goodH2896. 5For JobH347 hath saidH559, I am righteousH6663, and GodH410 hath takenH5493 awayH5493 my rightH4941: 6Notwithstanding my rightH4941 I am accounted a liarH3576; my woundH2671 is incurableH605, though I am withoutH1097 transgressionH6588. 7WhatH4310 manH1397 is like JobH347, who drinketh upH8354 scorning like waterH4325? 8Which goeth in companyH2274 with the workersH6466 of iniquityH205, and walketh with wickedH205 menH376. 9For he hath saidH559, it profiteth a manH1397 nothingH3808 that he should delightH7521 himselfH3808 with GodH430. 10Therefore hearken unto meH2486, ye menH376 of understandingH3824: farH2486 be it from GodH410, that he should doH8085 wickednessH7562; and from the AlmightyH7706, that he should commit iniquityH5766. 11For the workH6467 of a manH376 shall he render unto him, and cause everyH376 manH376 to findH4672 accordingH376 to his waysH734. 12Yea, of a surety, GodH410 will notH3808 doH637 wickedlyH7561, neitherH3808 will the AlmightyH7706 pervertH5791 judgmentH4941. 13Who gaveH7760 him a chargeH5921 over the earthH776? or who hath disposed the wholeH3605 worldH8398? 14IfH518 he setH7760 his heartH3820 uponH413 man, ifH518 he gatherH622 unto himselfH3820 his spiritH7307 and his breathH7307; 15AllH3605 fleshH1320 shall perishH1478 togetherH3162, and manH120 shall turnH7725 againH7725 unto dustH6083. 16IfH518 nowH8085 thou hast understandingH998, hearH8085 this: hearken to the voiceH6963 of my wordsH4405. 17Shall evenH637 one that hateth rightH4941 govern? and wilt thou condemnH7561 him that is justH4941 and mightyH3524? 18Is it fitH413 to sayH559 to a kingH4428, Thou art vile? or to noblesH5081, Ye are wickedH7563? 19HowH834 muchH3027 lessH3588 to him that respecteth notH3808 the persons of princesH8269, norH3808 regardeth the rich moreH3808 thanH3808 the poorH1800? for they allH3605 are the workH4639 of his handsH3027. 20In a momentH7281 they dieH4191, evenH3808 at midnight; the peopleH5971 are shakenH1607 and passH5674 awayH5493, and the mightyH47 are takenH5493 awayH5493 withoutH3808 handH3027. 21For his eyesH5869 are uponH5921 the waysH1870 of a manH376, and he seeth allH3605 his goings. 22There is noH369 darknessH2822, norH369 shadowH6757 of deathH6757, whereH8033 the workersH6466 of iniquityH205 may hideH5641 themselvesH205. 23For he needeth notH3808 furtherH5750 to considerH7760 a manH376, that he should goH1980 beforeH413 GodH410 in judgmentH4941. 24He breaketh in pieces mightyH3524 menH3524 in ways past finding outH2714, and setteth othersH312 in their steadH8478. 25Therefore he taketh knowledge of their worksH4566; and he overturneth them in the nightH3915, soH3651 that they are destroyedH2015. 26He striketh them as wickedH7563 menH7563 in the open sight of others; 27BecauseH5921 they turnedH5493 asideH5493 from followingH310 him, and would notH3808 have regardH5921 to anyH3605 of his waysH1870: 28SoH935 that they caused the cryH6818 of the poorH6041 to comeH935 unto him, and he heardH8085 the cryH6818 of the afflictedH6041. 29When he giveth quietnessH8252, who then canH4310 condemnH7561? and when he hideth his faceH6440, who then canH4310 beholdH7789 him? whether it be done unto a nationH1471, or unto a manH120, alikeH3162: 30That the godlessH2611 manH120 reignH4427 not, that there be none to ensnare the peopleH5971. 31For hath anyH3588 saidH559 unto GodH410, I have borneH5375 chastisement, I will notH3808 offend anyH3588 moreH3808: 32That which I seeH2372 notH3808 teachH3384 thou meH3254: ifH518 I have doneH6466 iniquityH5766, I will doH6466 it noH3808 moreH3254? 33Shall his recompence be as thou wilt, that thou refusest it? for thou mustH3808 chooseH977, and notH3808 I: therefore speakH1696 whatH4100 thou knowest. 34MenH376 of understandingH3824 will sayH559 unto meH3824, yea, everyH376 wiseH2450 manH376 that heareth meH3824: 35JobH347 speaketh withoutH3808 knowledgeH1847, and his wordsH1697 are withoutH3808 wisdom. 36Would that JobH347 were triedH974 unto the endH5331, becauseH5921 of his answering like wickedH205 menH376. 37For he addeth rebellionH6588 unto his sinH2403, he clappeth his hands among usH5921, and multiplieth his wordsH561 againstH5921 GodH410.
