Job 34
1 And he answered Elihu and he said.
Moreover Elihu answered,
2 Hear O wise [men] words my and O [those who] know give ear to me.
"Hear my words, you sages. Give ear to me, you who have knowledge.
3 For [the] ear words it tests and [the] palate it tastes to eat.
For the ear tries words, as the palate tastes food.
4 Justice let us choose for ourselves let us recognize between ourselves what? [is] good.
Let us choose for us that which is right. Let us know among ourselves what is good.
5 For he has said Job I am righteous and God he has taken away right my.
For Job has said, 'I am righteous, God has taken away my right:
6 On right my will I lie? [is] incurable arrow my not transgression.
Notwithstanding my right I am considered a liar. My wound is incurable, though I am without disobedience.'
7 Who? [is] a man like Job he drinks mockery like water.
What man is like Job, who drinks scorn like water,
8 And he travels for company with doers of evil and to walk with people of wickedness.
Who goes in company with evildoers, and walks with wicked men?
9 For he has said not it profits a man when is pleased he with God.
For he has said, 'It profits a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.'
10 Therefore - O people of heart listen to me far be it to God from wickedness and [the] Almighty from unrighteousness.
"Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness, from Shaddai, that he should commit iniquity.
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.
For the work of a man he will render to him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.
12 Also truly God not he acts wickedly and [the] Almighty not he perverts justice.
Yes surely, God will not do wickedly, neither will Shaddai pervert justice.
13 Who? did he assign on him [the] earth towards and who? did he put [the] world all of it.
Who put him in charge of the earth? or who has appointed him over the whole world?
14 If he will set to it heart his spirit his and breath his to himself he will gather.
If he set his heart on himself, If he gathered to himself his spirit and his breath,
15 It will expire all flesh together and humankind to dust it will return.
all flesh would perish together, and man would turn again to dust.
16 And if understanding hear! this give ear! to [the] sound of words my.
"If now you have understanding, hear this. Listen to the voice of my words.
17 ¿ Also [one who] hates justice will he govern and or? [the] righteous [one] [the] mighty [one] will you condemn as guilty.
Shall even one who hates justice govern? Will you condemn him who is righteous and mighty?—
18 ¿ To say to a king worthless person wicked [one] to noble [people].
Who says to a king, 'Vile.' or to nobles, 'Wicked.'?
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.
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.
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.
In a moment they die, even at midnight. The people are shaken and pass away. The mighty are taken away without a hand.
21 For eyes his [are] on [the] ways of everyone and all steps his he sees.
"For his eyes are on the ways of a man. He sees all his goings.
22 There not [is] darkness and there not [is] deep darkness to hide themselves there [those who] do wickedness.
There is no darkness, nor thick gloom, where evildoers may hide themselves.
23 For not on a person he will appoint again to go to God in judgment.
For he doesn't need to consider a man further, that he should go before God in judgment.
24 He breaks mighty [ones] not inquiry and he appointed others in place of them.
He breaks in pieces mighty men in ways past finding out, and sets others in their place.
25 Therefore he is acquainted with deeds their and he overthrows [them] night so they may be crushed.
Therefore he takes knowledge of their works. He overturns them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
26 In place of wicked [people] he slaps them in a place of [those who] see.
He strikes them as wicked men in the open sight of others;
27 That there-fore they turned aside from after him and all ways his not they considered.
because they turned aside from following him, and wouldn't pay attention to any of his ways,
28 To cause to come to him [the] outcry of [the] poor and [the] outcry of afflicted [people] he heard.
so that they caused the cry of the poor to come to him. He heard the cry of the afflicted.
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.
When he gives quietness, who then can condemn? When he hides his face, who then can see him? Alike whether to a nation, or to a man,
30 From reigning a person godless from snares of a people.
that the godless man may not reign, that there be no one to ensnare the people.
31 For to God ¿ has anyone said I have borne not I will act corruptly.
"For has any said to God, 'I am guilty, but I will not offend any more.
32 Apart from [that which] I see O you instruct me if unrighteousness I have done not I will repeat.
Teach me that which I do not see. If I have done iniquity, I will do it no 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.
Shall his recompense be as you desire, that you refuse it? For you must choose, and not I. Therefore speak what you know.
34 People of heart they will say to me and a man wise [who] listens to me.
Men of understanding will tell me, yes, every wise man who hears me:
35 Job not with knowledge he speaks and words his not [are] with insight.
'Job speaks without knowledge. His words are without wisdom.'
36 Would that! he will be tested Job until perpetuity on answers among people of wickedness.
I wish that Job were tried to the end, because of his answering like wicked men.
37 For he adds to sin his transgression between us he claps and he multiplies words his to God.
For he adds rebellion to his sin. He claps his hands among us, and multiplies his words against God."
