Job 34

1 And he answered Elihu and he said.

Moreover, Elihu continued to speak:

2 Hear O wise [men] words my and O [those who] know give ear to me.

“Listen to my words, you wise men; hear 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 ourselves what is just: let us discover 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, but God has taken away my rights.

6 On right my will I lie? [is] incurable arrow my not transgression.

Regardless of my rights, I am considered to be a liar. My wound is incurable, although I am without sin.'

7 Who? [is] a man like Job he drinks mockery like water.

What man is like Job, who drinks up mockery like water,

8 And he travels for company with doers of evil and to walk with people of wickedness.

who goes around in the company of those who do evil, and who 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 is no use to a person to take pleasure in doing what God wants.'

10 Therefore - O people of heart listen to me far be it to God from wickedness and [the] Almighty from unrighteousness.

So listen to me, you men of understanding: far be it from God that he should do wickedness; far be it from the Almighty that he should commit sin.

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 he pays back a person's work; he makes every man come upon the reward of his own ways.

12 Also truly God not he acts wickedly and [the] Almighty not he perverts justice.

Indeed, God does nothing wicked, nor does the Almighty ever 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 over the earth? Who put the whole world under him?

14 If he will set to it heart his spirit his and breath his to himself he will gather.

If he ever set his intentions only on himself, and if he ever gathered back to himself his spirit and his breath,

15 It will expire all flesh together and humankind to dust it will return.

then all flesh would perish together; mankind would return to dust again.

16 And if understanding hear! this give ear! to [the] sound of words my.

If now you have understanding, listen to this; listen to the sound 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.

Can one who hates justice govern? Will you condemn God, who is righteous and mighty?

18 ¿ To say to a king worthless person wicked [one] to noble [people].

God, who says to a king, 'You are vile,' or says to nobles, 'You are 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.

God, who does not show favoritism to leaders and does not acknowledge rich people more than 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 will die; at midnight people will be shaken and will pass away; mighty people will be taken away, but not by human hands.

21 For eyes his [are] on [the] ways of everyone and all steps his he sees.

For God's eyes are upon a person's ways; he sees 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, no thick gloom where the doers of iniquity may hide themselves.

23 For not on a person he will appoint again to go to God in judgment.

For God does not need to examine a person further; there is no need for any person to go before him in judgment.

24 He breaks mighty [ones] not inquiry and he appointed others in place of them.

He breaks mighty men into pieces for their ways that need no further investigation; he puts others in their places.

25 Therefore he is acquainted with deeds their and he overthrows [them] night so they may be crushed.

In this way he has knowledge of their deeds; he overthrows these people in the night; they are destroyed.

26 In place of wicked [people] he slaps them in a place of [those who] see.

In the open sight of others, he kills them for their wicked deeds like criminals

27 That there-fore they turned aside from after him and all ways his not they considered.

because they turned away from following him and refused to acknowledge any of his ways.

28 To cause to come to him [the] outcry of [the] poor and [the] outcry of afflicted [people] he heard.

In this way, they made the cry of poor people come to him; he heard the cry of afflicted people.

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 stays silent, who can condemn him? If he hides his face, who can perceive him? He rules over nation and individual alike,

30 From reigning a person godless from snares of a people.

so that a godless man may not rule, so that there may be no one to entrap people.

31 For to God ¿ has anyone said I have borne not I will act corruptly.

Suppose someone says to God, 'I am certainly guilty, but I will not sin any longer;

32 Apart from [that which] I see O you instruct me if unrighteousness I have done not I will repeat.

teach me what I cannot see; I have committed sin, but I will do it no longer.'

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.

Do you think that God will punish that person's sin, since you dislike what God does? You must choose, not I. So say what it is that you know.

34 People of heart they will say to me and a man wise [who] listens to me.

Men of understanding will say to me— indeed, every wise man who hears me will say,

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.

If only Job were put on trial in the smallest details of his case because of his talking 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 in mockery in our midst; he piles up words against God.”
