acv@Job:34:1 @ Moreover Elihu answered, and said,

acv@Job:34:2 @ Hear my words, ye wise men, and give ear to me, ye who have knowledge.

acv@Job:34:3 @ For the ear tries words as the palate tastes food.

acv@Job:34:4 @ Let us choose for us that which is right. Let us know among ourselves what is good.

acv@Job:34:5 @ For Job has said, I am righteous, and God has taken away my right.

acv@Job:34:6 @ Notwithstanding my right I am [accounted] a liar. My wound is incurable, [though I am] without transgression.

acv@Job:34:7 @ What man is like Job, who drinks up scorning like water,

acv@Job:34:8 @ saying, I have not sinned, nor committed unrighteousness, nor had fellowship with workers of iniquity to go with the profane.

acv@Job:34:9 @ For thou should not say, There shall be no visitation to a man, [whereas] visitation [is] to him from LORD.

acv@Job:34:10 @ Therefore hearken to me, ye men of understanding. Far be it from me to sin before LORD, and pervert righteousness before the Almighty.

acv@Job:34:11 @ For the work of a man he will render to him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.

acv@Job:34:12 @ Yea, certainly God will not do wrong. Neither will the Almighty pervert justice.

acv@Job:34:13 @ Who gave him a charge over the earth? Or who has disposed the whole world?

acv@Job:34:14 @ If he sets his heart upon himself, [if] he gathers his spirit and his breath to himself,

acv@Job:34:15 @ all flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again to dust.

acv@Job:34:16 @ If now [thou be] understanding, hear this. Hearken to the voice of words.

acv@Job:34:17 @ Behold thou him who hates lawlessness, and who destroys evil men, who is forever righteousness,

acv@Job:34:18 @ [him] who says to a king, [Thou are] vile, to ranking men, [Ye are] wicked,

acv@Job:34:19 @ who does not respect the persons of rulers, nor regards the rich more than the poor. For they all are the work of his hands.

acv@Job:34:20 @ In a moment they die, even at midnight. The people are shaken and pass away, and the mighty are taken away without hand.

acv@Job:34:21 @ For his eyes are upon the ways of a man, and he sees all his goings.

acv@Job:34:22 @ There is no darkness, nor thick gloom where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.

acv@Job:34:23 @ For he needs no further to consider a man, that he should go before God in judgment.

acv@Job:34:24 @ He breaks in pieces mighty men [in ways] past finding out, and sets others in their stead.

acv@Job:34:25 @ Therefore he takes knowledge of their works, and he overturns them in the night, so that they are destroyed.

acv@Job:34:26 @ He strikes them as wicked men in the open sight of others

acv@Job:34:27 @ because they turned aside from following him, and would not have regard in any of his ways,

acv@Job:34:28 @ so that they caused the cry of the poor to come to him, and he heard the cry of the afflicted.

acv@Job:34:29 @ When he gives quietness, who then can condemn? And when he hides his face, who then can behold him? [It is] the same whether to a nation, or to a man,

acv@Job:34:30 @ that the profane man not reign, that there be none to ensnare the people.

acv@Job:34:31 @ For has any said to God, I have borne [chastisement], I will not offend [any more].

acv@Job:34:32 @ Teach thou me that which I do not see. If I have done iniquity, I will do it no more?

acv@Job:34:33 @ Shall his recompense be as thou desire, that thou refuse it? For thou must choose, and not I. Therefore speak what thou know.

acv@Job:34:34 @ Men of understanding will say to me, yes, every wise man who hears me,

acv@Job:34:35 @ Job speaks without knowledge, and his words are without wisdom.

acv@Job:34:36 @ But surely not. Learn thou Job not to still give an answer like the foolish,

acv@Job:34:37 @ so that we may not add to our sins, and lawlessness will be reckoned against us, speaking many words before LORD.
