34:1Furthermore Elihu answered and said,
34:2Hear my words, O ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.
34:3For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat.
34:4Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good.
34:5For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment.
34:6Should I lie against my right? my wound is incurable without transgression.
34:7What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water?
34:8Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men.
34:9For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.
34:10Therefore 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.
34:11For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.
34:12Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.
34:13Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed the whole world?
34:14If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;
34:15All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust.
34:16If now thou hast understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words.
34:17Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just?
34:18Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes, Ye are ungodly?
34:19How 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.
34:20In 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.
34:21For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings.
34:22There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
34:23For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should enter into judgment with God.
34:24He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead.
34:25Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
34:26He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others;
34:27Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways:
34:28So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.
34:29When 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:
34:30That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared.
34:31Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more:
34:32That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.
34:33Should 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.
34:34Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken unto me.
34:35Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom.
34:36My desire is that Job may be tried unto the end because of his answers for wicked men.
34:37For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God.
