9 For he has said, |
10 Therefore |
11 For the work |
12 Yes, |
13 Who |
14 If |
15 All |
16 If |
17 Shall even |
18 Is it fit to say |
19 How |
20 In a moment |
21 For his eyes |
22 There is no |
23 For he will not lay |
24 He shall break |
25 Therefore |
26 He strikes |
27 Because |
28 So that they cause the cry |
29 When he gives quietness, |
30 That the hypocrite |
31 Surely |
32 That which I see |
33 Should it be according to your mind? |

35 Job |
36 My desire |
37 For he adds |
JobChapter 34 |
1 MOREOVER Elihu continued and said. |
2 Hear my words, O you wise men, and give ear to me, you that have knowledge. |
3 For the ear tries words, and the palate tastes food. |
4 Let us choose for us a judge; let him know among ourselves what is good. |
5 For Job has said, I am righteous; and God has turned aside my judgment. |
6 Who is the man who has perished without transgression? |
7 What man is like Job, who drinks up scorning like water? |
8 Who is a companion and friend of the workers of iniquity, and walks with wicked men? |
9 For he has said that a man is not justified because he fears God. |
10 Therefore hearken to me, O you men of understanding; far be it from God that he should do wickedness; and far be it from him that he should commit iniquity. |
11 For he compensates a man according to his works, and causes every man to be rewarded according to his ways. |
12 Truly, God does not commit iniquity, neither does God pervert justice. |
13 Who has control over the earth? Or who has made all the world? |
14 If he should turn his heart against man, man's spirit and his breath will be gathered to him. |
15 Then all flesh would perish together, and man would return again to dust. |
16 If now you have understanding, hear this; hearken to the voice of my words. |
17 He who hates justice cannot be declared innocent, and he who is innocent will not be condemned justly; |
18 He who says concerning the king that he is wicked, and yet he is a good ruler over princes and governors; |
19 And not partial to princes, and does not discriminate against the poor (for they are all the work of his hands); |
20 In a moment shall he die, and he shall be consumed at midnight, and pass away; he will be rendered powerless by the Almighty. |
21 For his eyes are upon all the ways of man, and he sees all his goings. |
22 There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves. |
23 For he has not set a time for a man that he should enter into judgment with God. |
24 For he has brought misfortune to many men without number, and sets others in their places. |
25 Therefore he knows them by their works, and he overturns them in the night. |
26 Their works shall be crushed under the weight of their wickedness in a land of terror; |
27 Because they turned aside from following him, and did not consider any of his ways. |
28 The prayer of the poor comes to him, and he hears the cry of the afflicted. |
29 When he forgives, who then can condemn? And when he turns his face away, who can forgive the people, or mankind altogether? |
30 He sees to it that an impious and wicked man shall not reign over the people. |
31 For God has said, I have forgiven, I will not destroy men who are without sin. |
32 en_lbp_inform me now, teach me, if you have committed iniquity; |
33 I will not answer you any more, because you have sinned, for you have been examined, and not I; therefore speak out what you know. |
34 Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken to me. |
35 Job has spoken without knowledge, and his words are without understanding. |
36 Truly, Job has been tested to the end, and yet he is not counted among the wicked. |
37 And if Job should add to his sins, then his transgression will affect us all, and he still will bring his complaint before God. |
