Job 34 (kjv)

Furthermore Elihu^H453 answered^H6030 and said^H559,²Hear^H8085 my words^H4405, O ye wise^H2450 men; and give ear^H238 unto me, ye that have knowledge^H3045.³For the ear^H241 trieth^H974 words^H4405, as the mouth^H2441 tasteth^H2938 meat^H398.⁴Let us choose^H977 to us judgment^H4941: let us know^H3045 among ourselves what is good^H2896.⁵For Job^H347 hath said^H559, I am righteous^H6663: and God^H410 hath taken away^H5493 my judgment^H4941.⁶Should I lie^H3576 against my right^H4941? my wound^H2671 is incurable^H605 without transgression^H6588.⁷What man^H1397 is like Job^H347, who drinketh up^H8354 scorning^H3933 like water^H4325?⁸Which goeth^H732 in company^H2274 with the workers^H6466 of iniquity^H205, and walketh^H3212 with wicked^H7562 men^H582.⁹For he hath said^H559, It profiteth^H5532 a man^H1397 nothing that he should delight^H7521 himself with God^H430.

¹⁰Therefore hearken^H8085 unto me, ye men^H582 of understanding^H3824: far be it^H2486 from God^H410, that he should do wickedness^H7562; and from the Almighty^H7706, that he should commit iniquity^H5766.¹¹For the work^H6467 of a man^H120 shall he render^H7999 unto him, and cause every man^H376 to find^H4672 according to his ways^H734.¹²Yea, surely^H551 God^H410 will not do wickedly^H7561, neither will the Almighty^H7706 pervert^H5791 judgment^H4941.¹³Who hath given him a charge^H6485 over the earth^H776? or who hath disposed^H7760 the whole world^H8398?¹⁴If he set^H7760 his heart^H3820 upon man, if he gather^H622 unto himself his spirit^H7307 and his breath^H5397;¹⁵All flesh^H1320 shall perish^H1478 together^H3162, and man^H120 shall turn again^H7725 unto dust^H6083.¹⁶If now thou hast understanding^H998, hear^H8085 this: hearken^H238 to the voice^H6963 of my words^H4405.¹⁷Shall even he that hateth^H8130 right^H4941 govern^H2280? and wilt thou condemn^H7561 him that is most^H3524 just^H6662?¹⁸Is it fit to say^H559 to a king^H4428, Thou art wicked^H1100? and to princes^H5081, Ye are ungodly^H7563?¹⁹How much less to him that accepteth^H5375 not the persons^H6440 of princes^H8269, nor regardeth^H5234 the rich^H7771 more than^H6440 the poor^H1800? for they all are the work^H4639 of his hands^H3027.²⁰In a moment^H7281 shall they die^H4191, and the people^H5971 shall be troubled^H1607 at midnight^{H2676 H3915}, and pass away^H5674: and the mighty^H47 shall be taken away^H5493 without hand^H3027.²¹For his eyes^H5869 are upon the ways^H1870 of man^H376, and he seeth^H7200 all his goings^H6806.²²There is no darkness^H2822, nor shadow of death^H6757, where the workers^H6466 of iniquity^H205 may hide^H5641 themselves.²³For he will not lay^H7760 upon man^H376 more than right; that he should enter^H1980 into judgment^H4941 with God^H410.²⁴He shall break in pieces^H7489 mighty men^H3524 without number^H2714, and set^H5975 others^H312 in their stead.²⁵Therefore he knoweth^H5234 their works^H4566, and he overturneth^H2015 them in the night^H3915, so that they are destroyed^H1792.²⁶He striketh^H5606 them as^H8478 wicked men^H7563 in the open^H4725 sight^H7200 of others;²⁷Because they turned back^H5493 from him^H310, and would not consider^H7919 any of his ways^H1870:²⁸So that they cause the cry^H6818 of the poor^H1800 to come^H935 unto him, and he heareth^H8085 the cry^H6818 of the afflicted^H6041.²⁹When he giveth quietness^H8252, who then can make trouble^H7561? and when he hideth^H5641 his face^H6440, who then can behold^H7789 him? whether it be done against a nation^H1471, or against a man^H120 only^H3162:³⁰That the hypocrite^{H120 H2611} reign^H4427 not, lest the people^H5971 be ensnared^H4170.

³¹Surely it is meet to be said^H559 unto God^H410, I have borne^H5375 chastisement, I will not offend^H2254 any more:³²That which I see^H2372 not^H1107 teach^H3384 thou me: if I have done^H6466 iniquity^H5766, I will do^H3254 no more.³³Should it be according to thy mind? he will recompense^H7999 it, whether thou refuse^{H3588 H3988}, or whether thou choose^H977; and not I: therefore speak^H1696 what thou knowest^H3045.

³⁴Let men^H582 of understanding^H3824 tell^H559 me, and let a wise^H2450 man^H1397 hearken^H8085 unto me.³⁵Job^H347 hath spoken^H1696 without knowledge^H1847, and his words^H1697 were without wisdom^H7919.³⁶My desire^{H15 H1} is that Job^H347 may be tried^H974 unto the end^H5331 because of his answers^H8666 for wicked^H205 men^H582.³⁷For he addeth^H3254 rebellion^H6588 unto his sin^H2403, he clappeth^H5606 his hands among us, and multiplieth^H7235 his words^H561 against God^H410.
