Verse
Job - ch 34 v 21 - 37
- For his eyes are upon the ways of a man, And he seeth all his goings.
- There is no darkness, nor thick gloom, Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
- For he needeth not further to consider a man, That he should go before God in judgment.
- He breaketh in pieces mighty men `in ways' past finding out, And setteth others in their stead.
- Therefore he taketh knowledge of their works; And he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
- He striketh them as wicked men In the open sight of others;
- Because they turned aside from following him, And would not have regard in any of his ways:
- So that they caused the cry of the poor to come unto him, And he heard the cry of the afflicted.
- When he giveth quietness, who then can condemn? And when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? Alike whether `it be done' unto a nation, or unto a man:
- That the godless man reign not, That there be none to ensnare the people.
- For hath any said unto God, I have borne `chastisement', I will not offend `any more':
- That which I see not teach thou me: If I have done iniquity, I will do it no more?
- Shall his recompense be as thou wilt, that thou refusest it? For thou must choose, and not I: Therefore speak what thou knowest.
- Men of understanding will say unto me, Yea, every wise man that heareth me:
- Job speaketh without knowledge, And his words are without wisdom.
- Would that Job were tried unto the end, Because of his answering like wicked men.
- For he addeth rebellion unto his sin; He clappeth his hands among us, And multiplieth his words against God.
