| The Book of Job 34 | ||||||||||||||||
| The World English Online Bible (WLD) | ||||||||||||||||
| Job 34:1 | Moreover Elihu answered, | |||||||||||||||
| Job 34:2 | "Hear my words, you wise men; Give ear to me, you who have knowledge. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 34:3 | For the ear tries words, As the palate tastes food. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 34:4 | Let us choose for us that which is right. Let us know among ourselves what is good. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 34:5 | For Job has said, 'I am righteous, God has taken away my right: | |||||||||||||||
| Job 34:6 | Notwithstanding my right I am considered a liar; My wound is incurable, though I am without disobedience.' | |||||||||||||||
| Job 34:7 | What man is like Job, Who drinks up scoffing like water, | |||||||||||||||
| Job 34:8 | Who goes in company with the workers of iniquity, And walks with wicked men? | |||||||||||||||
| Job 34:9 | For he has said, 'It profits a man nothing That he should delight himself with God.' | |||||||||||||||
| Job 34:10 | "Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding: Far be it from God, that he should do wickedness, From the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 34:11 | For the work of a man will he render to him, And cause every man to find according to his ways. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 34:12 | Yes surely, God will not do wickedly, Neither will the Almighty pervert justice. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 34:13 | Who gave him a charge over the earth? Or who has appointed him over the whole world? | |||||||||||||||
| Job 34:14 | If he set his heart on himself, If he gathered to himself his spirit and his breath; | |||||||||||||||
| Job 34:15 | All flesh would perish together, And man would turn again to dust. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 34:16 | "If now you have understanding, hear this. Listen to the voice of my words. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 34:17 | Shall even one who hates justice govern? Will you condemn him who is righteous and mighty? | |||||||||||||||
| Job 34:18 | Who says to a king, 'Vile!' Or to nobles, 'Wicked!' | |||||||||||||||
| Job 34:19 | Who doesn't respect the persons of princes, Nor regards the rich more than the poor; For they all are the work of his hands. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 34:20 | In a moment they die, even at midnight; The people are shaken and pass away, The mighty are taken away without hand. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 34:21 | "For his eyes are on the ways of a man, He sees all his goings. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 34:22 | There is no darkness, nor thick gloom, Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 34:23 | For he doesn't need to consider a man further, That he should go before God in judgment. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 34:24 | He breaks in pieces mighty men in ways past finding out, And sets others in their place. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 34:25 | Therefore he takes knowledge of their works. He overturns them in the night, so that they are destroyed. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 34:26 | He strikes them as wicked men In the open sight of others; | |||||||||||||||
| Job 34:27 | Because they turned aside from following him, And wouldn't have regard in any of his ways: | |||||||||||||||
| Job 34:28 | So that they caused the cry of the poor to come to him, He heard the cry of the afflicted. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 34:29 | When he gives quietness, who then can condemn? When he hides his face, who then can see him? Alike whether to a nation, or to a man: | |||||||||||||||
| Job 34:30 | That the godless man may not reign, That there be no one to ensnare the people. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 34:31 | "For has any said to God, 'I am guilty, but I will not offend any more. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 34:32 | Teach me that which I don't see. If I have done iniquity, I will do it no more'? | |||||||||||||||
| Job 34:33 | Shall his recompense be as you desire, that you refuse it? For you must choose, and not I. Therefore speak what you know. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 34:34 | Men of understanding will tell me, Yes, every wise man who hears me: | |||||||||||||||
| Job 34:35 | 'Job speaks without knowledge, His words are without wisdom.' | |||||||||||||||
| Job 34:36 | I wish that Job were tried to the end, Because of his answering like wicked men. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 34:37 | For he adds rebellion to his sin. He claps his hands among us, And multiplies his words against God." | |||||||||||||||
