mkjv@Job:34:1 @ And Elihu answered and said,

mkjv@Job:34:2 @ Hear my words, wise men; and give ear to me, you who have knowledge;

mkjv@Job:34:3 @ For the ear tries words, [as] the palate tastes food.

mkjv@Job:34:4 @ Let us choose for ourselves what is right; let us know among ourselves what [is] good.

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

mkjv@Job:34:6 @ should I lie against my right? My wound cannot be cured; [I am] without rebellion.

mkjv@Job:34:7 @ What man [is] like Job, [who] drinks up scorning like water;

mkjv@Job:34:8 @ who goes in company with the workers of iniquity, and walks with wicked men?

mkjv@Job:34:9 @ For he has said, It profits a man nothing when he is accepted with God.

mkjv@Job:34:10 @ Therefore listen to me, O man of heart; far be it from God to commit iniquity; and from the Almighty, to do wrong.

mkjv@Job:34:11 @ For He repays man's work, and causes him to find according to [his] ways.

mkjv@Job:34:12 @ Yes, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert justice.

mkjv@Job:34:13 @ Who has given the earth as a deposit with Him? Or who has set the whole world in order?

mkjv@Job:34:14 @ If He sets His heart on man, [if] He gathers to Himself his spirit and his breath,

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

mkjv@Job:34:16 @ If now [you have] understanding, hear this; listen to the sound of my words.

mkjv@Job:34:17 @ Shall one who hates right govern? And will you condemn Him who is just and mighty?

mkjv@Job:34:18 @ Who says to a king, O worthless one; and to nobles, O evil one?

mkjv@Job:34:19 @ [How much less to Him who] does not lift up the face of rulers, nor regard the rich before the poor? For all of them [are] the work of His hands.

mkjv@Job:34:20 @ In a moment they die, and a people are shaken at midnight and pass away; and the mighty shall be taken away without a hand.

mkjv@Job:34:21 @ For His eyes [are] on the ways of man, and He sees all his steps.

mkjv@Job:34:22 @ There is no darkness, nor shadow of death to hide there the workers of iniquity.

mkjv@Job:34:23 @ For He does not still impose on man to go before God in judgment.

mkjv@Job:34:24 @ He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their place.

mkjv@Job:34:25 @ Therefore He knows their works, and He overturns in the night, so that they are destroyed.

mkjv@Job:34:26 @ He strikes them for evil deeds in the place of the watchers,

mkjv@Job:34:27 @ because thus they turned from following Him, and they did not consider all His ways;

mkjv@Job:34:28 @ [so as] to cause the cry of the poor to come to Him, for He hears the cry of the afflicted.

mkjv@Job:34:29 @ And He gives quietness, who then can condemn? And when He hides [His] face, who can behold Him? And [it may be] against a nation and a man together;

mkjv@Job:34:30 @ from the reigning of ungodly men, from [being] snares for the people.

mkjv@Job:34:31 @ For has any said to God, I have taken away; I will not pervert?

mkjv@Job:34:32 @ Besides what I see, You teach me; if I have done iniquity, I will do it no more.

mkjv@Job:34:33 @ Must He repay because you rejected [it]? For you must choose, and not I; therefore speak what you know.

mkjv@Job:34:34 @ Men of understanding will say to me, and a wise man who hears me [will say],

mkjv@Job:34:35 @ Job has spoken without knowledge, and his words [were] without wisdom.

mkjv@Job:34:36 @ Would that Job may be tried to the end because [his] answers [are] like men of iniquity.

mkjv@Job:34:37 @ For he adds rebellion to his sins; he claps [his] hands among us, and multiplies his words against God.
