Verse
Job - ch 34 v 1 - 20
- Moreover Elihu answered and said,
- Hear my words, ye wise men; And give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.
- For the ear trieth words, As the palate tasteth food.
- Let us choose for us that which is right: Let us know among ourselves what is good.
- For Job hath said, I am righteous, And God hath taken away my right:
- Notwithstanding my right I am `accounted' a liar; My wound is incurable, `though I am' without transgression.
- What man is like Job, Who drinketh up scoffing like water,
- Who goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, And walketh with wicked men?
- For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing That he should delight himself with God.
- 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.
- For the work of a man will he render unto him, And cause every man to find according to his ways.
- Yea, of a surety, God will not do wickedly, Neither will the Almighty pervert justice.
- Who gave him a charge over the earth? Or who hath disposed the whole world?
- If he set his heart upon himself, `If' he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;
- All flesh shall perish together, And man shall turn again unto dust.
- If now `thou hast' understanding, hear this: Hearken to the voice of my words.
- Shall even one that hateth justice govern? And wilt thou condemn him that is righteous `and' mighty?-
- `Him' that saith to a king, `Thou art' vile, `Or' to nobles, `Ye are' wicked;
- That respecteth not the persons of princes, Nor regardeth the rich more than the poor; For they all are the work of his hands.
- In a moment they die, even at midnight; The people are shaken and pass away, And the mighty are taken away without hand.
