Job 34

1Moreover Elihu^H453 answered^H6030 and said^H559, 2Hear^H8085 my words^H4405, ye wise^H2450 men; And give ear^H238 unto me, ye that have knowledge^H3045. 3For the ear^H241 trieth^H974 words^H4405, As the palate^H2441 tasteth^H2938 food^H398. 4Let us choose^H977 for us that which is right^H4941: Let us know^H3045 among ourselves what is good^H2896. 5For Job^H347 hath said^H559, I am righteous^H6663, And God^H410 hath taken away^H5493 my right^H4941: 6Notwithstanding my right^H4941 I am accounted a liar^H3576; My wound^H2671 is incurable^H605, though I am without transgression^H6588. 7What man^H1397 is like Job^H347, Who drinketh up^H8354 scoffing^H3933 like water^H4325, 8Who goeth^H732 in company^H2274 with the workers^H6466 of iniquity^H205, And walketh^H3212 with wicked^H7562 men^H582? 9For he hath said^H559, It profiteth^H5532 a man^H1397 nothing That he should delight^H7521 himself with God^H430. 10Therefore hearken^H8085 unto me, ye men^H582 of understanding^H3824: Far be it^H2486 from God^H410, that he should do wickedness^H7562, And from the Almighty^H7706, that he should commit iniquity^H5766. 11For the work^H6467 of a man^H120 will he render^H7999 unto him, And cause every man^H376 to find^H4672 according to his ways^H734. 12Yea, of a surety^H551, God^H410 will not do wickedly^H7561, Neither will the Almighty^H7706 pervert^H5791 justice^H4941. 13Who gave him a charge^H6485 over the earth^H776? Or who hath disposed^H7760 the whole world^H8398? 14If he set^H7760 his heart^H3820 upon himself, If he gather^H622 unto himself his spirit^H7307 and his breath^H5397; 15All flesh^H1320 shall perish^H1478 together^H3162, And man^H120 shall turn again^H7725 unto dust^H6083. 16If now thou hast understanding^H998, hear^H8085 this: Hearken^H238 to the voice^H6963 of my words^H4405. 17Shall even one that hateth^H8130 justice^H4941 govern^H2280? And wilt thou condemn^H7561 him that is righteous^H6662 and mighty^H3524?— 18Him that saith^H559 to a king^H4428, Thou art vile^H7563, Or to nobles^H5081, Ye are wicked^H1100; 19That respecteth^H5375 not the persons^H6440 of princes^H8269, Nor regardeth^H5234 the rich^H7771 more than^H6440 the poor^H1800; For they all are the work^H4639 of his hands^H3027. 20In a moment^H7281 they die^H4191, even at midnight^H2676; The people^H5971 are shaken^H1607 and pass away^H5674, And the mighty^H47 are taken away^H5674 without hand^H3027. 21For his eyes^H5869 are upon the ways^H1870 of a man^H376, And he seeth^H7200 all his goings^H6806. 22There is no darkness^H2822, nor thick gloom^H6757, Where the workers^H6466 of iniquity^H205 may hide^H5641 themselves. 23For he needeth not further^H7760 to consider a man^H376, That he should go^H1980 before God^H410 in judgment^H4941. 24He breaketh in pieces^H7489 mighty men^H3524 in ways past finding^H2714 out, And setteth^H5975 others^H312 in their stead. 25Therefore he taketh knowledge^H5234 of their works^H4566; And he overturneth^H2015 them in the night^H3915, so that they are destroyed^H1792. 26He striketh^H5606 them as^H8478 wicked men^H7563 In the open^H4725 sight^H7200 of others; 27Because they turned aside^H5493 from following him^H310, And would not have regard^H7919 in any of his ways^H1870: 28So that they caused the cry^H6818 of the poor^H1800 to come^H935 unto him, And he heard^H8085 the cry^H6818 of the afflicted^H6041. 29When he giveth quietness^H8252, who then can condemn^H7561? And when he hideth^H5641 his face^H6440, who then can behold^H7789 him? Alike whether it be done unto a nation^H1471, or unto a^H3162 man^H120: 30That the godless^H120 man reign^H4427 not, That there be none to ensnare^H4170 the people^H5971. 31For hath any said^H559 unto God^H410, I have borne^H5375 chastisement, I will not offend^H2254 any more: 32That which I see^H2372 not^H1107 teach^H3384 thou me: If I have done^H6466 iniquity^H5766, I will do^H3254 it no more? 33Shall his recompense^H7999 be as thou wilt, that thou refusest^H3588 it? For thou must choose^H977, and not I: Therefore speak^H1696 what thou knowest^H3045. 34Men^H582 of understanding^H3824 will say^H559 unto me, Yea, every wise^H2450 man^H1397 that heareth^H8085 me: 35Job^H347 speaketh^H1696 without knowledge^H1847, And his words^H1697 are without wisdom^H7919. 36Would^H15 that Job^H347 were tried^H974 unto the end^H5331, Because of his answering^H8666 like wicked^H205 men^H582. 37For he addeth^H3254 rebellion^H6588 unto his sin^H2403; He clappeth^H5606 his hands among us, And multiplieth^H7235 his words^H561 against God^H410.
