Job 34 — parallel

34:1

Furthermore Elihu answered and said,

—

34:2

Hear my words, O ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.

—

34:3

For the ear trieth words, as the tasteth meat.

—

34:4

Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good.

—

34:5

For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment.

—

34:6

Should I lie against my right? is incurable without transgression.

—

34:7

What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water?

—

34:8

Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men.

—

34:9

For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.

—

34:10

Therefore hearken unto me, ye : far be it from God, that he should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.

—

34:11

For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.

—

34:12

Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.

—

34:13

Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed world?

—

34:14

If he set his heart , if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;

—

34:15

All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust.

—

34:16

If now thou hast understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words.

—

34:17

Shall even he that hateth right and wilt thou condemn him that is most just?

—

34:18

Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes, Ye are ungodly?

—

34:19

How 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.

—

34:20

In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and away without hand.

—

34:21

For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings.

—

34:22

There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.

—

34:23

For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should into judgment with God.

—

34:24

He shall break in pieces mighty men , and set others in their stead.

—

34:25

Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth them in the night, so that they are .

—

34:26

He striketh them as wicked men ;

—

34:27

Because they turned back , and would not consider any of his ways:

—

34:28

So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.

—

34:29

When 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:

—

34:30

That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared.

—

34:31

Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more:

—

34:32

That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.

—

34:33

he will recompense it, whether thou refuse, or whether thou choose; and not I: therefore speak what thou knowest.

—

34:34

Let men tell me, and let a wise man hearken unto me.

—

34:35

Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom.

—

34:36

unto the end because of his answers for wicked men.

—

34:37

For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God.
