Job 34

34:1

Furthermore Elihu
<0453>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

34:2

Hear
<08085> (8798)

my words
<04405>_,

O ye wise
<02450>

[men]; and give ear
<0238> (8685)

unto me, ye that have knowledge
<03045> (8802)_.

34:3

For the ear
<0241>

trieth
<0974> (8799)

words
<04405>_,

as the mouth
<02441>

tasteth
<02938> (8799)

meat
<0398> (8800)_.

{mouth: Heb. palate}

34:4

Let us choose
<0977> (8799)

to us judgment
<04941>_:

let us know
<03045> (8799)

among ourselves what [is] good
<02896>_.

34:5

For Job
<0347>

hath said
<0559> (8804)_,

I am righteous
<06663> (8804)_:

and God
<0410>

hath taken away
<05493> (8689)

my judgment
<04941>_.

34:6

Should I lie
<03576> (8762)

against my right
<04941>_?

my wound
<02671>

[is] incurable
<0605> (8803)

without transgression
<06588>_.

{my wound: Heb. mine arrow}

34:7

What man
<01397>

[is] like Job
<0347>_,

[who] drinketh up
<08354> (8799)

scorning
<03933>

like water
<04325>_?

34:8

Which goeth
<0732> (8804)

in company
<02274>

with the workers
<06466> (8802)

of iniquity
<0205>_,

and walketh
<03212> (8800)

with wicked
<07562>

men
<0582>_.

34:9

For he hath said
<0559> (8804)_,

It profiteth
<05532> (8799)

a man
<01397>

nothing that he should delight
<07521> (8800)

himself with God
<0430>_.

34:10

Therefore hearken
<08085> (8798)

unto me, ye men
<0582>

of understanding
<03824>_:

far be it
<02486>

from God
<0410>_,

[that he should do] wickedness
<07562>_;

and [from] the Almighty
<07706>_,

[that he should commit] iniquity
<05766>_.

{men...: Heb. men of heart}

34:11

For the work
<06467>

of a man
<0120>

shall he render
<07999> (8762)

unto him, and cause every man
<0376>

to find
<04672> (8686)

according to [his] ways
<0734>_.

34:12

Yea, surely
<0551>

God
<0410>

will not do wickedly
<07561> (8686)_,

neither will the Almighty
<07706>

pervert
<05791> (8762)

judgment
<04941>_.

34:13

Who hath given him a charge
<06485> (8804)

over the earth
<0776>_?

or who hath disposed
<07760> (8804)

the whole world
<08398>_?

{the whole: Heb. all of it?}

34:14

If he set
<07760> (8799)

his heart
<03820>

upon man, [if] he gather
<0622> (8799)

unto himself his spirit
<07307>

and his breath
<05397>_;

{man: Heb. him}

34:15

All flesh
<01320>

shall perish
<01478> (8799)

together
<03162>_,

and man
<0120>

shall turn again
<07725> (8799)

unto dust
<06083>_.

34:16

If now [thou hast] understanding
<0998>_,

hear
<08085> (8798)

this: hearken
<0238> (8685)

to the voice
<06963>

of my words
<04405>_.

34:17

Shall even he that hateth
<08130> (8802)

right
<04941>

govern
<02280> (8799)_?

and wilt thou condemn
<07561> (8686)

him that is most
<03524>

just
<06662>_?

{govern: Heb. bind?}

34:18

[Is it fit] to say
<0559> (8800)

to a king
<04428>_,

[Thou art] wicked
<01100>_?

[and] to princes
<05081>_,

[Ye are] ungodly
<07563>_?

34:19

[How much less to him] that accepteth
<05375> (8804)

not the persons
<06440>

of princes
<08269>_,

nor regardeth
<05234> (8765)

the rich
<07771>

more than
<06440>

the poor
<01800>_?

for they all [are] the work
<04639>

of his hands
<03027>_.

34:20

In a moment
<07281>

shall they die
<04191> (8799)_,

and the people
<05971>

shall be troubled
<01607> (8792)

at midnight
<02676> <03915>_,

and pass away
<05674> (8799)_:

and the mighty
<047>

shall be taken away
<05493> (8686)

without hand
<03027>_.

{the mighty...: Heb. they shall take away the mighty}

34:21

For his eyes
<05869>

[are] upon the ways
<01870>

of man
<0376>_,

and he seeth
<07200> (8799)

all his goings
<06806>_.

34:22

[There is] no darkness
<02822>_,

nor shadow of death
<06757>_,

where the workers
<06466> (8802)

of iniquity
<0205>

may hide
<05641> (8736)

themselves.

34:23

For he will not lay
<07760> (8799)

upon man
<0376>

more [than right]; that he should enter
<01980> (8800)

into judgment
<04941>

with God
<0410>_.

{enter: Heb. go}

34:24

He shall break in pieces
<07489> (8799)

mighty men
<03524>

without number
<02714>_,

and set
<05975> (8686)

others
<0312>

in their stead. {number: Heb. searching out}

34:25

Therefore he knoweth
<05234> (8686)

their works
<04566>_,

and he overturneth
<02015> (8804)

[them] in the night
<03915>_,

so that they are destroyed
<01792> (8691)_.

{destroyed: Heb. crushed}

34:26

He striketh
<05606> (8804)

them as
<08478>

wicked men
<07563>

in the open
<04725>

sight
<07200> (8802)

of others; {open...: Heb. place of beholders}

34:27

Because they turned back
<05493> (8804)

from him
<0310>_,

and would not consider
<07919> (8689)

any of his ways
<01870>_:

{him: Heb. after him}

34:28

So that they cause the cry
<06818>

of the poor
<01800>

to come
<0935> (8687)

unto him, and he heareth
<08085> (8799)

the cry
<06818>

of the afflicted
<06041>_.

34:29

When he giveth quietness
<08252> (8686)_,

who then can make trouble
<07561> (8686)_?

and when he hideth
<05641> (8686)

[his] face
<06440>_,

who then can behold
<07789> (8799)

him? whether [it be done] against a nation
<01471>_,

or against a man
<0120>

only
<03162>_:

34:30

That the hypocrite
<0120> <02611>

reign
<04427> (8800)

not, lest the people
<05971>

be ensnared
<04170>_.

34:31

Surely it is meet to be said
<0559> (8736)

unto God
<0410>_,

I have borne
<05375> (8804)

[chastisement], I will not offend
<02254> (8799)

[any more]:

34:32

[That which] I see
<02372> (8799)

not
<01107>

teach
<03384> (8685)

thou me: if I have done
<06466> (8804)

iniquity
<05766>_,

I will do
<03254> (8686)

no more.

34:33

[Should it be] according to thy mind? he will recompense
<07999> (8762)

it, whether thou refuse
<03588> <03988> (8804)_,

or whether thou choose
<0977> (8799)_;

and not I: therefore speak
<01696> (8761)

what thou knowest
<03045> (8804)_.

{according...: Heb. from with thee?}

34:34

Let men
<0582>

of understanding
<03824>

tell
<0559> (8799)

me, and let a wise
<02450>

man
<01397>

hearken
<08085> (8802)

unto me. {of...: Heb. of heart}

34:35

Job
<0347>

hath spoken
<01696> (8762)

without knowledge
<01847>_,

and his words
<01697>

[were] without wisdom
<07919> (8687)_.

34:36

My desire
<015> (8676) <01>

[is that] Job
<0347>

may be tried
<0974> (8735)

unto the end
<05331>

because of [his] answers
<08666>

for wicked
<0205>

men
<0582>_.

{My...: or, My father, let Job be tried}

34:37

For he addeth
<03254> (8686)

rebellion
<06588>

unto his sin
<02403>_,

he clappeth
<05606> (8799)

[his hands] among us, and multiplieth
<07235> (8686)

his words
<0561>

against God
<0410>_.
