Verse
Job - ch 34 v 1 - 20
- Furthermore Elihu answered and said,
- Hear my words, O ye wise men; and give ear to me, ye that have knowledge.
- For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth food.
- Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good.
- For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment.
- Should I lie against my right? my wound is incurable without transgression.
- What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning 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 to 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 he shall 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 judgment.
- Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed the whole world?
- If he should set his heart upon man, if he should gather to himself his spirit and his breath;
- All flesh would perish together, and man would turn again to dust.
- If now thou hast understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words.
- Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just?
- Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes, Ye are ungodly?
- How much less to him that accepteth 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 shall die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand.
