kjv - Job:32-34

kjv@Job:32:1 @ So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.

kjv@Job:32:2 @ Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.

kjv@Job:32:3 @ Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.

kjv@Job:32:4 @ Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he.

kjv@Job:32:5 @ When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled.

kjv@Job:32:6 @ And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; wherefore I was afraid, and durst not shew you mine opinion.

kjv@Job:32:7 @ I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.

kjv@Job:32:8 @ But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

kjv@Job:32:9 @ Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.

kjv@Job:32:10 @ Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion.

kjv@Job:32:11 @ Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.

kjv@Job:32:12 @ Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words:

kjv@Job:32:13 @ Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.

kjv@Job:32:14 @ Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches.

kjv@Job:32:15 @ They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking.

kjv@Job:32:16 @ When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and answered no more;)

kjv@Job:32:17 @ I said, I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion.

kjv@Job:32:18 @ For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.

kjv@Job:32:19 @ Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.

kjv@Job:32:20 @ I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer.

kjv@Job:32:21 @ Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.

kjv@Job:32:22 @ For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away.

kjv@Job:33:1 @ Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words.

kjv@Job:33:2 @ Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.

kjv@Job:33:3 @ My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.

kjv@Job:33:4 @ The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.

kjv@Job:33:5 @ If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me, stand up.

kjv@Job:33:6 @ Behold, I am according to thy wish in God's stead: I also am formed out of the clay.

kjv@Job:33:7 @ Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee.

kjv@Job:33:8 @ Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words, saying,

kjv@Job:33:9 @ I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me.

kjv@Job:33:10 @ Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy,

kjv@Job:33:11 @ He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths.

kjv@Job:33:12 @ Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.

kjv@Job:33:13 @ Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.

kjv@Job:33:14 @ For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.

kjv@Job:33:15 @ In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;

kjv@Job:33:16 @ Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,

kjv@Job:33:17 @ That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.

kjv@Job:33:18 @ He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.

kjv@Job:33:19 @ He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:

kjv@Job:33:20 @ So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat.

kjv@Job:33:21 @ His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out.

kjv@Job:33:22 @ Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers.

kjv@Job:33:23 @ If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness:

kjv@Job:33:24 @ Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.

kjv@Job:33:25 @ His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth:

kjv@Job:33:26 @ He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness.

kjv@Job:33:27 @ He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;

kjv@Job:33:28 @ He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.

kjv@Job:33:29 @ Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man,

kjv@Job:33:30 @ To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.

kjv@Job:33:31 @ Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I will speak.

kjv@Job:33:32 @ If thou hast any thing to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify thee.

kjv@Job:33:33 @ If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom.

kjv@Job:34:1 @ Furthermore Elihu answered and said,

kjv@Job:34:2 @ Hear my words, O ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.

kjv@Job:34:3 @ For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat.

kjv@Job:34:4 @ Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good.

kjv@Job:34:5 @ For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment.

kjv@Job:34:6 @ Should I lie against my right? my wound is incurable without transgression.

kjv@Job:34:7 @ What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water?

kjv@Job:34:8 @ Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men.

kjv@Job:34:9 @ For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.

kjv@Job: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.

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

kjv@Job:34:12 @ Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.

kjv@Job:34:13 @ Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed the whole world?

kjv@Job:34:14 @ If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;

kjv@Job:34:15 @ All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust.

kjv@Job:34:16 @ If now thou hast understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words.

kjv@Job:34:17 @ Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just?

kjv@Job:34:18 @ Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes, Ye are ungodly?

kjv@Job: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.

kjv@Job: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.

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

kjv@Job:34:22 @ There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.

kjv@Job:34:23 @ For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should enter into judgment with God.

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

kjv@Job:34:25 @ Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed.

kjv@Job:34:26 @ He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others;

kjv@Job:34:27 @ Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways:

kjv@Job:34:28 @ So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.

kjv@Job: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:

kjv@Job:34:30 @ That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared.

kjv@Job:34:31 @ Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more:

kjv@Job:34:32 @ That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.

kjv@Job: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.

kjv@Job:34:34 @ Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken unto me.

kjv@Job:34:35 @ Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom.

kjv@Job:34:36 @ My desire is that Job may be tried unto the end because of his answers for wicked men.

kjv@Job:34:37 @ For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God.

kjv@Job:35:1 @ Elihu spake moreover, and said,
