{Job 34:1} Furthermore Elihu answered and said, ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 34:2} Hear my words, O ye wise [men;] and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 34:3} For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 34:4} Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what [is] good. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 34:5} For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 34:6} Should I lie against my right? my wound [is] incurable without transgression. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 34:7} What man [is] like Job, [who] drinketh up scorning like water? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 34:8} Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 34:9} For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 34:10} Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: far be it from God, [that he should do] wickedness; and [from] the Almighty, [that he should commit] iniquity. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 34:11} For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to [his] ways. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 34:12} Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 34:13} Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed the whole world? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 34:14} If he set his heart upon man, [if] he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 34:15} All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 34:16} If now [thou hast] understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 34:17} Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 34:18} [Is it fit] to say to a king, [Thou art] wicked? [and] to princes, [Ye are] ungodly? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 34:19} [How much less to him] that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all [are] the work of his hands. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 34:20} In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 34:21} For his eyes [are] upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 34:22} [There is] no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 34:23} For he will not lay upon man more [than right;] that he should enter into judgment with God. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 34:24} He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 34:25} Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth [them] in the night, so that they are destroyed. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 34:26} He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 34:27} Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 34:28} So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 34:29} When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hideth [his] face, who then can behold him? whether [it be done] against a nation, or against a man only: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 34:30} That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 34:31} Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne [chastisement,] I will not offend [any more: ] ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 34:32} [That which] I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 34:33} [Should it be] according to thy mind? he will recompense it, whether thou refuse, or whether thou choose; and not I: therefore speak what thou knowest. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 34:34} Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken unto me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 34:35} Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words [were] without wisdom. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 34:36} My desire [is that] Job may be tried unto the end because of [his] answers for wicked men. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 34:37} For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth [his hands] among us, and multiplieth his words against God.
