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 ourselves what is right; let us know among ourselves what is good!
- For Job hath said, I am righteous, and ùGod hath taken away my judgment:
- Should I lie against my right? My wound is incurable without transgression.
- What man is like Job? he drinketh up scorning like water,
- And goeth in company with workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men.
- For he hath said, It profiteth not a man if he delight himself in God.
- Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: Far be wickedness from ùGod, and wrong from the Almighty!
- For a man's work will he render to him, and cause every one to find according to his way.
- Yea, surely, ùGod acteth not wickedly, and the Almighty perverteth not judgment.
- Who hath entrusted to him the earth? and who hath disposed the whole world?
- If he only thought of himself, and gathered unto him his spirit and his breath,
- All flesh would expire together, and man would return to the dust.
- If now thou hast understanding, hear this: give ear to the voice of my words!
- Should he that hateth right indeed govern? and wilt thou condemn the All-just?
- Shall one say to a king, Belial? to nobles, Wicked?
- How then to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich man more than the poor? for they are all the work of his hands.
- In a moment they die, even at midnight the people are convulsed and pass away; and the strong are taken away without hand.
