Job 34:2-22

2HearH8085 my wordsH4405, O ye wiseH2450 men ; and give earH238 to me, ye that have knowledgeH3045. 3For the earH241 triethH974 wordsH4405, as the mouthH2441 tastethH2938 foodH398.1 4Let us chooseH977 for ourselves what is rightH4941: let us knowH3045 among ourselves what is goodH2896. 5For JobH347 hath saidH559, I am righteousH6663: and GodH410 hath taken awayH5493 my judgmentH4941. 6Should I lieH3576 against my rightH4941? my woundH2671 is incurableH605 without transgressionH6588.2 7What manH1397 is like JobH347, who drinketh upH8354 scorningH3933 like waterH4325? 8Who goethH732 in companyH2274 with the workersH6466 of iniquityH205, and walkethH3212 with wickedH7562 menH582. 9For he hath saidH559, It profitethH5532 a manH1397 nothing that he should delightH7521 himself with GodH430.

10Therefore hearkenH8085 to me, ye menH582 of understandingH3824: far be itH2486 from GodH410, that he should do wickednessH7562; and from the AlmightyH7706, that he should commit iniquityH5766.3 11For the workH6467 of a manH120 he shall renderH7999 to him, and cause every manH376 to findH4672 according to his waysH734. 12Yea, surelyH551 GodH410 will not do wickedlyH7561, neither will the AlmightyH7706 pervertH5791 judgmentH4941. 13Who hath given him a chargeH6485 over the earthH776? or who hath disposedH7760 the whole worldH8398?4 14If he should setH7760 his heartH3820 upon man, if he should gatherH622 to himself his spiritH7307 and his breathH5397;5 15All fleshH1320 would perishH1478 togetherH3162, and manH120 would turn againH7725 to dustH6083.

16If now thou hastunderstandingH998, hearH8085 this: hearkenH238 to the voiceH6963 of my wordsH4405. 17Shall even he that hatethH8130 rightH4941 governH2280? and wilt thou condemnH7561 him that is mostH3524 justH6662?6 18Is it fit to sayH559 to a kingH4428, Thou art wickedH1100? and to princesH5081, Ye are ungodlyH7563? 19How much less to him that acceptethH5375 not the personsH6440 of princesH8269, nor regardethH5234 the richH7771 more thanH6440 the poorH1800? for they all are the workH4639 of his handsH3027. 20In a momentH7281 they shall dieH4191, and the peopleH5971 shall be troubledH1607 at midnightH2676H3915, and pass awayH5674: and the mightyH47 shall be taken awayH5493 without handH3027.7 21For his eyesH5869 are upon the waysH1870 of manH376, and he seethH7200 all his goingsH6806. 22There is no darknessH2822, nor shadow of deathH6757, where the workersH6466 of iniquityH205 may hideH5641 themselves.
