rotherham Job:34-36
rotherham@Job:34:1 @ Furthermore Elihu responded, and said:
rotherham@Job:34:2 @ Hear, ye wise men, my words, and, ye who know, give ear unto me;
rotherham@Job:34:3 @ For, the ear, trieth words, as, the palate, tasteth in eating.
rotherham@Job:34:4 @ What is right, let us choose for ourselves, Let us know, among ourselves, what is good;
rotherham@Job:34:5 @ For Job hath said I am righteous, But, GOD, hath turned away my right;
rotherham@Job:34:6 @ Concerning mine own right, shall I tell a falsehood? Incurable is my diseasenot for any transgression.
rotherham@Job:34:7 @ What man is like Job? He drinketh in scoffing like water;
rotherham@Job:34:8 @ And is on the way to keep company, with the workers of iniquity, and to walk with lawless men.
rotherham@Job:34:9 @ For he hath said, It profiteth not a man, when, his good pleasure, is with God.
rotherham@Job:34:10 @ Wherefore, ye men of mind, hearken unto me, Far be it, that, GOD, should be lawless, or, the Almighty, be perverse!
rotherham@Job:34:11 @ For, what any son of earth doeth, he repayeth him, and, according to every mans course, he causeth him to find.
rotherham@Job:34:12 @ Nay, verily, GOD, will not condemn unjustly, nor, the Almighty, pervert justice.
rotherham@Job:34:13 @ Who set him in charge of the earth? Or who appointed the whole world?
rotherham@Job:34:14 @ If he should set against him his heart, His spirit and his inspiration, unto himself he should withdraw.
rotherham@Job:34:15 @ All flesh together, would cease to breathe, and, the earth-born, unto dust, would return.
rotherham@Job:34:16 @ If then understanding, hear this, Give thou ear to the teaching of my words:
rotherham@Job:34:17 @ Shall, the very hater of right, control? Or, the justthe mighty one, wilt thou condemn?
rotherham@Job:34:18 @ Doth one say to a king, Abandoned one! Or, Lawless one! unto nobles?
rotherham@Job:34:19 @ For he hath shewn no respect of persons unto princes, neither hath he recognised the rich rather than the poor? For, the work of his hands, are they all.
rotherham@Job:34:20 @ In a moment, they die, even in the middle of the night, A people are convulsed when they pass away, A mighty one is removed, without hand;
rotherham@Job:34:21 @ For, his eyes, are on the ways of a man, and, all his footsteps, he beholdeth,
rotherham@Job:34:22 @ No darkness, and no death-shade, where the workers of iniquity may hide.
rotherham@Job:34:23 @ For, unto no man, doth he appoint a repetition, in going unto GOD in judgment;
rotherham@Job:34:24 @ He shattereth mighty ones unsearchably, and setteth up others in their stead:
rotherham@Job:34:25 @ Therefore, he observeth their works, and overturneth in a night, and they are crushed;
rotherham@Job:34:26 @ In the place of lawless men, hath he chastised them, in presence of beholders.
rotherham@Job:34:27 @ Forasmuch, as they turned from following him, and, none of his ways, did they teach;
rotherham@Job:34:28 @ Causing to reach him the outcry of the poor, Yea, the outcry of the oppressed, he heareth.
rotherham@Job:34:29 @ When, he, giveth quiet, who then shall condemn? And, when he hideth face, who then shall sing of him? whether unto a nation or unto mankind altogether,
rotherham@Job:34:30 @ That impious men may not reign, nor be ensnarers of the people.
rotherham@Job:34:31 @ For, unto GOD, hath one said I have borne punishment, I will not be perverse;
rotherham@Job:34:32 @ What I see not, do, thou, shew me, If, perverseness, I have wrought, I will do it no more?
rotherham@Job:34:33 @ According to thy mind, must he requite it, that thou hast refused? For, thou, must choose, and not, I, What then thou knowest, speak!
rotherham@Job:34:34 @ The men of mind, will say to me, yea any wise man hearkening unto me:
rotherham@Job:34:35 @ Job, without knowledge, doth speak, and, his words, are not with discretion.
rotherham@Job:34:36 @ Would that Job might be tested to the uttermost, for replying with the men of iniquity:
rotherham@Job:34:37 @ For he addethunto his sinrebellion, In our midst, he clappeth his hands, and multiplieth his sayings against GOD.
rotherham@Job:35:1 @ Moreover Elihu, responded and said:
rotherham@Job:35:2 @ This, dost thou think to be right? Thou hast said My righteousness is more than GODS.
rotherham@Job:35:3 @ For thou dost say, How can one profit by thee? How can I benefit, more than by my sin?
rotherham@Job:35:4 @ I, will answer thee plainly, and thy friends with thee.
rotherham@Job:35:5 @ Look at the heavens and see, and survey the skiesthey are higher than thou.
rotherham@Job:35:6 @ If thou sinnest, what canst thou work against him? Or, if thy transgressions be multiplied, what canst thou do unto him?
rotherham@Job:35:7 @ If thou art righteous, what canst thou give unto him? Or what, at thy hand, can he accept?
rotherham@Job:35:8 @ Unto a man like thyself, might thy lawlessness
rotherham@Job:35:9 @ By reason of the multitude of oppressions, make outcry, They cry for help, by reason of the arm of the mighty;
rotherham@Job:35:10 @ But none saith Where is GOD my maker, Who giveth songs in the night;
rotherham@Job:35:11 @ Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and, beyond the bird of the heavens, giveth us wisdom?
rotherham@Job:35:12 @ There, make outcry, and he answereth not, because of the arrogance of evil-doers.
rotherham@Job:35:13 @ Howbeit, vanity, will GOD not hear, Yea, the Almighty, will not regard it.
rotherham@Job:35:14 @ How much less when thou sayest thou wilt not regard him! The cause, is before him, and thou must wait for him.
rotherham@Job:35:15 @ But, now, because it is not so, His anger hath punished, and yet hath he not at all known of transgression;
rotherham@Job:35:16 @ Thus, Job, vainly openeth his mouth, Without knowledge, he multiplieth words.
rotherham@Job:36:1 @ And Elihu added and said:
rotherham@Job:36:2 @ Restrain thyself for me a little, and I will shew thee, that, yetfor GOD, there is justification,
rotherham@Job:36:3 @ I will bring my knowledge from afar, and, to my Maker, will I attribute righteousness.
rotherham@Job:36:4 @ For, of a truthnot false, are my words, One of competent knowledge, is with thee.
rotherham@Job:36:5 @ Lo! GOD, is mighty, yet will he not despise, Mighty in vigour of mind;
rotherham@Job:36:6 @ He will not keep alive one who is lawless, but, the right of oppressed ones, will he grant;
rotherham@Job:36:7 @ He will not withdrawfrom a righteous onehis eyes, but, with kings on the throne, He hath seated men triumphantly, and they have been exalted.
rotherham@Job:36:8 @ But, if, bound in fetters, they have been captured with cords of affliction,
rotherham@Job:36:9 @ Then hath he declared to them their deed, and their transgressionsthat they were wont to behave themselves proudly;
rotherham@Job:36:10 @ Thus hath he uncovered their ear to a warning, and saidthat they should turn from iniquity.
rotherham@Job:36:11 @ If they would hearken, and serve, they should complete their days, in prosperity, and their years, in pleasantness;
rotherham@Job:36:12 @ But, if they would not hearken, by a weapon, should they pass away, and breathe their last, no one knowing.
rotherham@Job:36:13 @ Yea, the impious in heart, should store up anger, They should not cry for help, when he bound them.
rotherham@Job:36:14 @ Their soul should die in youth, and their life, among the unclean.
rotherham@Job:36:15 @ He would deliver the humbled in his humiliation, and would uncoverin oppressiontheir ear.
rotherham@Job:36:16 @ Yea he might even have allured theeout of the mouth of straitness, a wide spaceno narrowness there, and, the food set down on thy table, should have been full of fatness.
rotherham@Job:36:17 @ But, with the plea of a lawless one, thou art full, Plea and sentence, will take fast hold.
rotherham@Job:36:18 @ Because there is wrath, lest he take thee away with a stroke, Then let not, a great ransom, mislead thee.
rotherham@Job:36:19 @ Will he value thy riches? Nay not precious ore, nor all the forces of strength.
rotherham@Job:36:20 @ Do not pant for the night, when peoples disappear from their place.
rotherham@Job:36:21 @ Beware, do not turn unto iniquity, For, this, thou hast chosen rather than affliction.
rotherham@Job:36:22 @ Lo, GOD, exalteth himself by his strength, Who like him doth teach?
rotherham@Job:36:23 @ Who enjoined on him his way? and who ever said, Thou hast wrought perversity?
rotherham@Job:36:24 @ Remember, that thou extol his work, of which men have sung;
rotherham@Job:36:25 @ Every son of earth, hath viewed it, Mortal man, looketh at it from afar.
rotherham@Job:36:26 @ Lo, GOD, is greater than we can know, The number of his years, even past finding out!
rotherham@Job:36:27 @ For he draweth up drops of water, They trickle as rain through his mist;
rotherham@Job:36:28 @ With which the clouds flow down, They drop on man in abundance.
rotherham@Job:36:29 @ But surely none can understand the burstings of the cloud, the crashing of his pavilion!
rotherham@Job:36:30 @ Lo! he hath spread out over it, his lightning, The bed of the sea, hath he covered.
rotherham@Job:36:31 @ For, by those things, he executeth judgment on peoples, He giveth food in abundance:
rotherham@Job:36:32 @ Upon both hands, he putteth a covering of lightning, and layeth command upon it against an assailant:
rotherham@Job:36:33 @ His rolling thunder telleth concerning him, The cattle, even, concerning him that is coming up.
rotherham@Job:37:1 @ Yea, at this, my heart quaketh, and starteth up out of its place.
