bes@Job:34:1 @ And Elius continued, and said,

bes@Job:34:2 @ Hear me, ye wise men; hearken, ye that have knowledge.

bes@Job:34:3 @ For the ear tries words, and the mouth tastes meat.

bes@Job:34:4 @ Let us choose judgement to ourselves: let us know amount ourselves what is right.

bes@Job:34:5 @ For Job has said, I am righteous: the Lord has removed my judgement.

bes@Job:34:6 @ And he has (note:)Gr. lied(:note) erred in my judgement: my Gr. weapon is violent wound is severe without unrighteousness of mine.

bes@Job:34:7 @ What man is as Job, drinking scorning like water?

bes@Job:34:8 @ saying, (note:)Lit. not having, etc.(:note) I have not sinned, nor committed ungodliness, nor had fellowship with workers of iniquity, to go with the ungodly.

bes@Job:34:9 @ For thou shouldest not say, There shall be no visitation of a man, whereas there is a visitation on him from the Lord.

bes@Job:34:10 @ Wherefore hear me, ye that are wise in heart: far be it from me to sin before the Lord, and to (note:)Gr. disturb(:note) pervert righteousness before the almighty.

bes@Job:34:11 @ Yea, he renders to a man accordingly as each of them does, and in a man’s path he will find him.

bes@Job:34:12 @ And thinkest thou that the Lord will do wrong, or will the Almighty who made the earth (note:)disturb(:note) wrest judgement?

bes@Job:34:13 @ And who is he that made the whole world under heaven, and all things therein?

bes@Job:34:14 @ For if he would confine, and restrain his spirit with himself;

bes@Job:34:15 @ all flesh would die together, and every mortal would return to the earth, whence also he was formed.

bes@Job:34:16 @ Take heed lest he rebuke thee: hear this, hearken to the voice of words.

bes@Job:34:17 @ Behold then the one that hates iniquities, and that destroys the wicked, who is for ever just.

bes@Job:34:18 @ He is ungodly that says to a king, Thou art a transgressor, that says to princes, O most ungodly one.

bes@Job:34:19 @ Such a one as would not reverence the face of an honourable man, neither knows how to give honour to the great, so as that their persons should be respected.

bes@Job:34:20 @ But it shall turn out vanity to them, to cry and beseech a man; for they dealt unlawfully, the poor being turned aside from their right.

bes@Job:34:21 @ For (note:)Br. he is a surveyor of(:note) he surveys the works of men, and nothing of what they do has escaped him.

bes@Job:34:22 @ Neither shall there be a place for the workers of iniquity to hide themselves.

bes@Job:34:23 @ For he will not (note:)Gr. any more lay upon a man(:note) lay upon a man more than right.

bes@Job:34:24 @ For the Lord looks down upon all men, who comprehends unsearchable things, glorious also and excellent things without number.

bes@Job:34:25 @ Who discovers their works, and will bring night about upon them, and they shall be brought low.

bes@Job:34:26 @ And he quite destroys the ungodly, for they are seen before him.

bes@Job:34:27 @ Because they turned aside from the law of God, and did not regard his ordinances,

bes@Job:34:28 @ so as to bring before him the cry of the needy; for he will hear the cry of the poor.

bes@Job:34:29 @ And he will give quiet, and who will condemn? and he will hide his face, and who shall see him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man also:

bes@Job:34:30 @ causing a hypocrite to be king, because of the waywardness of the people.

bes@Job:34:31 @ For there is one that says to the Mighty One, I have received blessings; I will not take a pledge:

bes@Job:34:32 @ I will see apart from myself: do thou shew me if I have done unrighteousness; I will not do so any more.

bes@Job:34:33 @ Will he take vengeance for it on thee, whereas thou wilt put it far from thee? for thou shalt choose, and not I; and what thou knowest, speak thou.

bes@Job:34:34 @ Because the wise in heart shall say this, and a wise man listens to my word.

bes@Job:34:35 @ But Job has not spoken with understanding, his words are not uttered with knowledge.

bes@Job:34:36 @ Howbeit do thou learn, Job: no longer make answer as the foolish:

bes@Job:34:37 @ that we add not to our sins: for iniquity will be reckoned against us, if we speak many words before the Lord.
