1 Moreover Elihu answered and said, ERV — Job 34:1
2 Hear my words, ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge. ERV — Job 34:2
3 For the ear trieth words, as the palate tasteth meat. ERV — Job 34:3
4 Let us choose for us that which is right: let us know among ourselves what is good. ERV — Job 34:4
5 For Job hath said, I am righteous, and God hath taken away my right: ERV — Job 34:5
6 Notwithstanding my right I am accounted a liar; my wound is incurable, though I am without transgression. ERV — Job 34:6
7 What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water? ERV — Job 34:7
8 Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men. ERV — Job 34:8
9 For he hath said, it profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God. ERV — Job 34:9
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. ERV — Job 34:10
11 For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways. ERV — Job 34:11
12 Yea, of a surety, God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment. ERV — Job 34:12
13 Who gave him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed the whole world? ERV — Job 34:13
14 If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath; ERV — Job 34:14
15 All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust. ERV — Job 34:15
16 If now thou hast understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words. ERV — Job 34:16
17 Shall even one that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is just and mighty? ERV — Job 34:17
18 Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art vile? or to nobles, Ye are wicked? ERV — Job 34:18
19 How much less to him that respecteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work of his hands. ERV — Job 34:19
20 In a moment they die, even at midnight; the people are shaken and pass away, and the mighty are taken away without hand. ERV — Job 34:20
21 For his eyes are upon the ways of a man, and he seeth all his goings. ERV — Job 34:21
22 There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves. ERV — Job 34:22
23 For he needeth not further to consider a man, that he should go before God in judgment. ERV — Job 34:23
24 He breaketh in pieces mighty men in ways past finding out, and setteth others in their stead. ERV — Job 34:24
25 Therefore he taketh knowledge of their works; and he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed. ERV — Job 34:25
26 He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others; ERV — Job 34:26
27 Because they turned aside from following him, and would not have regard to any of his ways: ERV — Job 34:27
28 So that they caused the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heard the cry of the afflicted. ERV — Job 34:28
29 When he giveth quietness, who then can condemn? and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done unto a nation, or unto a man, alike: ERV — Job 34:29
30 That the godless man reign not, that there be none to ensnare the people. ERV — Job 34:30
31 For hath any said unto God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more: ERV — Job 34:31
32 That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do it no more? ERV — Job 34:32
33 Shall his recompence be as thou wilt, that thou refusest it? for thou must choose, and not I: therefore speak what thou knowest. ERV — Job 34:33
34 Men of understanding will say unto me, yea, every wise man that heareth me: ERV — Job 34:34
35 Job speaketh without knowledge, and his words are without wisdom. ERV — Job 34:35
36 Would that Job were tried unto the end, because of his answering like wicked men. ERV — Job 34:36
37 For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God. ERV — Job 34:37
