Job 34
1 And he answered Elihu and he said.
And Elihu proceeded, and said:
2 Hear O wise [men] words my and O [those who] know give ear to me.
Hear my words, ye wise men! Give ear to me, ye that have knowledge!
3 For [the] ear words it tests and [the] palate it tastes to eat.
For the ear trieth words, As the mouth tasteth meat.
4 Justice let us choose for ourselves let us recognize between ourselves what? [is] good.
Let us examine for ourselves what is right; Let us know among ourselves what is true.
5 For he has said Job I am righteous and God he has taken away right my.
Job hath said, “I am righteous, And God refuseth me justice.
6 On right my will I lie? [is] incurable arrow my not transgression.
Though I am innocent, I am made a liar; My wound is incurable, though I am free from transgression.”
7 Who? [is] a man like Job he drinks mockery like water.
Where is the man like Job, Who drinketh impiety like water;
8 And he travels for company with doers of evil and to walk with people of wickedness.
Who goeth in company with evil-doers, And walketh with wicked men?
9 For he has said not it profits a man when is pleased he with God.
For he hath said, “A man hath no advantage, When he delighteth himself in God.”
10 Therefore - O people of heart listen to me far be it to God from wickedness and [the] Almighty from unrighteousness.
Wherefore hearken to me, ye men of understanding! Far be iniquity from God; Yea, far be injustice from 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.
For what a man hath done he will requite him, And render to every one according to his deeds.
12 Also truly God not he acts wickedly and [the] Almighty not he perverts justice.
Surely God will not do iniquity, Nor will the Almighty pervert justice.
13 Who? did he assign on him [the] earth towards and who? did he put [the] world all of it.
Who hath given him the charge of the earth? Or who hath created the whole world?
14 If he will set to it heart his spirit his and breath his to himself he will gather.
Should he set his heart against man, Should he take back his spirit and his breath,
15 It will expire all flesh together and humankind to dust it will return.
Then would all flesh expire together; Yea, man would return to the dust.
16 And if understanding hear! this give ear! to [the] sound of words my.
If thou hast understanding, hear this! Give ear 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 he, that hateth justice, govern? Wilt thou then condemn the just and mighty One?
18 ¿ To say to a king worthless person wicked [one] to noble [people].
Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked; Or to princes, Ye are unrighteous?
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.
How much less to him that is not partial to princes, Nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? For they are all 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; yea, at midnight Do the people stagger and pass away, And the mighty are destroyed without hand.
21 For eyes his [are] on [the] ways of everyone and all steps his he sees.
For his eyes are upon the ways of man; He seeth all his steps.
22 There not [is] darkness and there not [is] deep darkness to hide themselves there [those who] do wickedness.
There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, Where evil-doers may hide themselves.
23 For not on a person he will appoint again to go to God in judgment.
He needeth not attend long to a man, That he may go into judgment before God;
24 He breaks mighty [ones] not inquiry and he appointed others in place of them.
He dasheth in pieces the mighty without inquiry, And setteth up others in their stead.
25 Therefore he is acquainted with deeds their and he overthrows [them] night so they may be crushed.
Therefore he knoweth their works, And in a night he overthroweth them, so that they are destroyed.
26 In place of wicked [people] he slaps them in a place of [those who] see.
On account of their wickedness he smiteth them, In the presence of many beholders;
27 That there-fore they turned aside from after him and all ways his not they considered.
Because they turned away from him, And had no regard to his ways,
28 To cause to come to him [the] outcry of [the] poor and [the] outcry of afflicted [people] he heard.
And caused the cry of the poor to come before him; For he heareth the cry of the oppressed.
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 giveth rest, who can cause trouble? And when he hideth his face, Who can behold him?
30 From reigning a person godless from snares of a people.
So is it with nations and individuals alike! That the wicked may no more rule, And may not be snares to the people.
31 For to God ¿ has anyone said I have borne not I will act corruptly.
Surely thou shouldst say unto God, “I have received chastisement; I will no more offend;
32 Apart from [that which] I see O you instruct me if unrighteousness I have done not I will repeat.
What I see not, teach thou me! 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 he recompense according to thy mind, Because thou refusest, or because thou choosest, and not he? Speak, if thou hast knowledge!
34 People of heart they will say to me and a man wise [who] listens to me.
Men of understanding, Wise men, who hear me, will say,
35 Job not with knowledge he speaks and words his not [are] with insight.
“Job hath spoken without knowledge, And his words are without wisdom.”
36 Would that! he will be tested Job until perpetuity on answers among people of wickedness.
I desire that Job may be tried to the last, For 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 addeth impiety to his sin; He clappeth his hands among us, And multiplieth words against God.
