Job 34

1 ♥ 📝 M oreover Elihu^H453 answered^H6030 and said,^H559

2 ♥ 📝 Hear^H8085 my words,^H4405 ye wise^H2450 men; And give ear^H238 unto me, ye that have knowledge.^H3045

3 ♥ 📝 For the ear^H241 trieth^H974 words,^H4405 As the palate^H2441 tasteth^H2938 food.^H398

4 ♥ 📝 Let us choose^H977 for us that which is right:^H4941 Let us know^H3045 among ourselves what is good.^H2896

5 ♥ 📝 For Job^H347 hath said,^H559 I am righteous,^H6663 And God^H410 hath taken away^H5493 my right:^H4941

6 ♥ 📝 Notwithstanding my right^H4941 I am [accounted] a liar;^H3576 My wound^H2671 is incurable,^H605 [though I am] without transgression.^H6588

7 ♥ 📝 What man^H1397 is like Job,^H347 Who drinketh up^H8354 scoffing^H3933 like water,^H4325

8 ♥ 📝 Who goeth^H732 in company^H2274 with the workers^H6466 of iniquity,^H205 And walketh^H3212 with wicked^H7562 men?^H582

9 ♥ 📝 For he hath said,^H559 It profiteth^H5532 a man^H1397 nothing That he should delight^H7521 himself with God.^H430

10 ♥ 📝 Therefore 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

11 ♥ 📝 For 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

12 ♥ 📝 Yea, of a surety,^H551 God^H410 will not do wickedly,^H7561 Neither will the Almighty^H7706 pervert^H5791 justice.^H4941

13 ♥ 📝 Who gave him a charge^H6485 over the earth?^H776 Or who hath disposed^H7760 the whole world?^H8398

14 ♥ 📝 If he set^H7760 his heart^H3820 upon himself, [If] he gather^H622 unto himself his spirit^H7307 and his breath;^H5397

15 ♥ 📝 All flesh^H1320 shall perish^H1478 together,^H3162 And man^H120 shall turn again^H7725 unto dust.^H6083

16 ♥ 📝 If now [thou hast] understanding,^H998 hear^H8085 this: Hearken^H238 to the voice^H6963 of my words.^H4405

17 ♥ 📝 Shall even one that hateth^H8130 justice^H4941 govern?^H2280 And wilt thou condemn^H7561 him that is righteous^H6662 [and] mighty?—^H3524

18 ♥ 📝 [Him] that saith^H559 to a king,^H4428 [Thou art] vile,^H7563 [Or] to nobles,^H5081 [Ye are] wicked;^H1100

19 ♥ 📝 That 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

20 ♥ 📝 In 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

21 ♥ 📝 For his eyes^H5869 are upon the ways^H1870 of a man,^H376 And he seeth^H7200 all his goings.^H6806

22 ♥ 📝 There is no darkness,^H2822 nor thick gloom,^H6757 Where the workers^H6466 of iniquity^H205 may hide^H5641 themselves.

23 ♥ 📝 For he needeth not further^H7760 to consider a man,^H376 That he should go^H1980 before God^H410 in judgment.^H4941

24 ♥ 📝 He breaketh in pieces^H7489 mighty men^H3524 [in ways] past finding^H2714 out, And setteth^H5975 others^H312 in their stead.

25 ♥ 📝 Therefore he taketh knowledge^H5234 of their works;^H4566 And he overturneth^H2015 them in the night,^H3915 so that they are destroyed.^H1792

26 ♥ 📝 He striketh^H5606 them as^H8478 wicked men^H7563 In the open^H4725 sight^H7200 of others;

27 ♥ 📝 Because they turned aside^H5493 from following him,^H310 And would not have regard^H7919 in any of his ways:^H1870

28 ♥ 📝 So 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

29 ♥ 📝 When 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

30 ♥ 📝 That the godless^H120 man reign^H4427 not, That there be none to ensnare^H4170 the people.^H5971

31 ♥ 📝 For hath any said^H559 unto God,^H410 I have borne^H5375 [chastisement], I will not offend^H2254 [any more]:

32 ♥ 📝 That which I see^H2372 not^H1107 teach^H3384 thou me: If I have done^H6466 iniquity,^H5766 I will do^H3254 it no more?

33 ♥ 📝 Shall 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

34 ♥ 📝 Men^H582 of understanding^H3824 will say^H559 unto me, Yea, every wise^H2450 man^H1397 that heareth^H8085 me:

35 ♥ 📝 Job^H347 speaketh^H1696 without knowledge,^H1847 And his words^H1697 are without wisdom.^H7919

36 ♥ 📝 Would^H15 that Job^H347 were tried^H974 unto the end,^H5331 Because of his answering^H8666 like wicked^H205 men.^H582

37 ♥ 📝 For 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
