Verse
Job - ch 34 v 1 - 20
- Moreover Elihu answered,
- "Hear my words, you wise men. Give ear to me, you who have knowledge.
- For the ear tries words, as the palate tastes food.
- Let us choose for us that which is right. Let us know among ourselves what is good.
- For Job has said, 'I am righteous, God has taken away my right:
- Notwithstanding my right I am considered a liar. My wound is incurable, though I am without disobedience.'
- What man is like Job, who drinks scorn like water,
- Who goes in company with the workers of iniquity, and walks with wicked men?
- For he has said, 'It profits a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.'
- "Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness, from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.
- For the work of a man he will render to him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.
- Yes surely, God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert justice.
- Who put him in charge of the earth? or who has appointed him over the whole world?
- If he set his heart on himself, If he gathered to himself his spirit and his breath,
- all flesh would perish together, and man would turn again to dust.
- "If now you have understanding, hear this. Listen to the voice of my words.
- Shall even one who hates justice govern? Will you condemn him who is righteous and mighty?--
- Who says to a king, 'Vile!' or to nobles, 'Wicked!'?
- Who doesn't respect the persons of princes, nor regards 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. The mighty are taken away without a hand.
