Verse
Job - ch 34 v 1 - 20
- And Elihu answereth and saith:
- Hear, O wise men, my words, And, O knowing ones, give ear to me.
- For the ear doth try words, And the palate tasteth to eat.
- Judgment let us choose for ourselves, Let us know among ourselves what `is' good.
- For Job hath said, `I have been righteous, And God hath turned aside my right,
- Against my right do I lie? Mortal `is' mine arrow -- without transgression.'
- Who `is' a man like Job? He drinketh scoffing like water,
- And he hath travelled for company With workers of iniquity, So as to go with men of wickedness.
- For he hath said, `It doth not profit a man, When he delighteth himself with God.'
- Therefore, O men of heart, hearken to me; Far be it from God to do wickedness, And `from' the Mighty to do perverseness:
- For the work of man he repayeth to him, And according to the path of each He doth cause him to find.
- Yea, truly, God doth not do wickedly, And the Mighty doth not pervert judgment.
- Who hath inspected for Himself the earth? And who hath placed all the habitable world?
- If He doth set on him His heart, His spirit and his breath unto Him He gathereth.
- Expire doth all flesh together, And man to dust returneth.
- And if `there is' understanding, hear this, Give ear to the voice of my words.
- Yea, doth one hating justice govern? Or the Most Just dost thou condemn?
- Who hath said to a king -- `Worthless,' Unto princes -- `Wicked?'
- That hath not accepted the person of princes, Nor hath known the rich before the poor, For a work of His hands `are' all of them.
- `In' a moment they die, and at midnight Shake do people, and they pass away, And they remove the mighty without hand.
