< Job 34 >
1 And he answered Elihu and he said.
And Elius continued, and said,
2 Hear O wise [men] words my and O [those who] know give ear to me.
Hear me, you wise men; listen, you that have knowledge.
3 For [the] ear words it tests and [the] palate it tastes to eat.
For the ear tries words, and the mouth tastes meat.
4 Justice let us choose for ourselves let us recognize between ourselves what? [is] good.
Let us choose judgment to ourselves: let us know amount ourselves what is right.
5 For he has said Job I am righteous and God he has taken away right my.
For Job has said, I am righteous: the Lord has removed my judgment.
6 On right my will I lie? [is] incurable arrow my not transgression.
And he has erred in my judgment: my wound is severe without unrighteousness [of mine].
7 Who? [is] a man like Job he drinks mockery like water.
What man is as Job, drinking scorning like water?
8 And he travels for company with doers of evil and to walk with people of wickedness.
[saying], I have not sinned, nor committed ungodliness, nor had fellowship with workers of iniquity, to go with the ungodly.
9 For he has said not it profits a man when is pleased he with God.
For you should not say, There shall be no visitation of a man, whereas [there is] a visitation on him from the Lord.
10 Therefore - O people of heart listen to me far be it to God from wickedness and [the] Almighty from unrighteousness.
Therefore hear me, you that are wise in heart: far be it from me to sin before the Lord, and to pervert righteousness before the almighty.
11 For [the] work of a person he will repay to him and according to [the] way of a person he will make find him.
Yes, he renders to a man accordingly as each of them does, and in a man's path he will find him.
12 Also truly God not he acts wickedly and [the] Almighty not he perverts justice.
And think you that the Lord will do wrong, or will the Almighty who made the earth wrest judgment?
13 Who? did he assign on him [the] earth towards and who? did he put [the] world all of it.
And who is he that made [the whole world] under heaven, and all things therein?
14 If he will set to it heart his spirit his and breath his to himself he will gather.
For if he would confine, and restrain his spirit with himself;
15 It will expire all flesh together and humankind to dust it will return.
all flesh would die together, and every mortal would return to the earth, whence also he was formed.
16 And if understanding hear! this give ear! to [the] sound of words my.
Take heed lest he rebuke [you]: hear this, listen to the voice of words.
17 ¿ Also [one who] hates justice will he govern and or? [the] righteous [one] [the] mighty [one] will you condemn as guilty.
Behold then the one that hates iniquities, and that destroys the wicked, who is for ever just.
18 ¿ To say to a king worthless person wicked [one] to noble [people].
[He is] ungodly that says to a king, You are a transgressor, [that says] to princes, O most ungodly one.
19 Who not he lifts up - [the] faces of princes and not he regards a rich person before a poor [person] for [are the] work of hands his all of them.
[Such a one] as would not reverence the face of an honorable man, neither knows how to give honor to the great, so as that their persons should be respected.
20 A moment - they die and [the] middle of [the] night they are shaken a people so they may pass away and people may remove [the] mighty not by a hand.
But it shall turn out vanity to them, to cry and beseech a man; for they dealt unlawfully, the poor being turned aside [from their right].
21 For eyes his [are] on [the] ways of everyone and all steps his he sees.
For he surveys the works of men, and nothing of what they do has escaped him.
22 There not [is] darkness and there not [is] deep darkness to hide themselves there [those who] do wickedness.
Neither shall there be a place for the workers of iniquity to hide themselves.
23 For not on a person he will appoint again to go to God in judgment.
For he will not lay upon a man more [than right].
24 He breaks mighty [ones] not inquiry and he appointed others in place of them.
For the Lord looks down upon all men, who comprehends unsearchable things, glorious also and excellent things without number.
25 Therefore he is acquainted with deeds their and he overthrows [them] night so they may be crushed.
Who discovers their works, and will bring night about [upon them], and they shall be brought low.
26 In place of wicked [people] he slaps them in a place of [those who] see.
And he quite destroys the ungodly, for they are seen before him.
27 That there-fore they turned aside from after him and all ways his not they considered.
Because they turned aside from the law of God, and did not regard his ordinances,
28 To cause to come to him [the] outcry of [the] poor and [the] outcry of afflicted [people] he heard.
so as to bring before him the cry of the needy; for he will hear the cry of the poor.
29 And he he will keep quiet - and who? will he condemn [him] as guilty and he may hide face and who? will he observe him and over a nation and over a person alike.
And he will give quiet, and who will condemn? and he will hide his face, and who shall see him? whether [it be done] against a nation, or against a man also:
30 From reigning a person godless from snares of a people.
causing a hypocrite to be king, because of the waywardness of the people.
31 For to God ¿ has anyone said I have borne not I will act corruptly.
For [there is] one that says to the Mighty One, I have received [blessings]; I will not take a pledge:
32 Apart from [that which] I see O you instruct me if unrighteousness I have done not I will repeat.
I will see apart from myself: do you show me if I have done unrighteousness; I will not do [so] any more.
33 ¿ From with you will he repay it if you have rejected for you you will choose and not I and what? do you know speak.
Will he take vengeance for it on you, whereas you will put [it] far [from you]? for you shall choose, and not I; and what you know, speak you.
34 People of heart they will say to me and a man wise [who] listens to me.
Because the wise in heart shall say this, and a wise man listens to my word.
35 Job not with knowledge he speaks and words his not [are] with insight.
But Job has not spoken with understanding, his words are not [uttered] with knowledge.
36 Would that! he will be tested Job until perpetuity on answers among people of wickedness.
Howbeit do you learn, Job: no longer make answer as the foolish:
37 For he adds to sin his transgression between us he claps and he multiplies words his to God.
that we add not to our sins: for iniquity will be reckoned against us, if [we] speak many words before the Lord.
