 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 mouth 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? my wound [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 men of understanding: 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 the whole world?
 34:14  If he set his heart upon man, [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 govern? 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 the mighty shall be
taken 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 enter into judgment with God.
 34:24  He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and
set others in their stead.
 34:25  Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth
[them] in the night, so that they are destroyed.
 34:26  He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of
others;
 34:27  Because they turned back from him, 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  [Should 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.
 34:34  Let men of understanding 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  My desire [is that] Job may be tried 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.
