34:2
Hear°°
my words,°
O ye wise°
[men]; and give ear°°
unto me, ye that have knowledge.°° |
|
34:3
For the ear trieth words, As the palate tasteth food. |
|
34:3
For°
the ear°
trieth°°
words,°
as the mouth°
tasteth°°
meat.°° |

Let us choose for us that which is right: Let us know among ourselves what is good. |
|
34:4
Let us choose°°
to us judgment:°
let us know°°
among°
ourselves what°
[is] good.° |
|
34:5
For Job hath said, I am righteous, And God hath taken away my right: |
|
34:5
For°
Job°
hath said,°°
I am righteous:°°
and God°
hath taken away°°
my judgment.° |
|
34:6
Notwithstanding my right I am [accounted] a liar; My wound is incurable, [though I am] without transgression. |
|
34:6
Should I lie°°
against°
my right?°
my wound°
[is] incurable°°
without°
transgression.° |

What man is like Job, Who drinketh up scoffing like water, |

34:7
What°
man°
[is] like Job,°
[who] drinketh up°°
scorning°
like water?° |

Who goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, And walketh with wicked men? |

34:8
Which goeth°°
in company°
with°
the workers°°
of iniquity,°
and walketh°°°
with°
wicked°
men.°° |
|
34:9
For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing That he should delight himself with God. |
|
34:9
For°
he hath said,°°
It profiteth°°
a man°
nothing°
that he should delight°°
himself with°
God.° |
|
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. |
|
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.°° |
|
34:11
For the work of a man will he render unto him, And cause every man to find according to his ways. |
|
34:11
For°
the work°
of a man°
shall he render°°
unto him, and cause every man°
to find°°
according to [his] ways.° |
|
34:12
Yea, of a surety, God will not do wickedly, Neither will the Almighty pervert justice. |
|
34:12
Yea,°
surely°
God°
will not°
do wickedly,°°
neither°
will the Almighty°
pervert°°
judgment.° |
|
34:13
Who gave him a charge over the earth? Or who hath disposed the whole world? |
|
34:13
Who°
hath given him a charge°°°
over the earth?°
or who°
hath disposed°°
the whole°
world?° |

34:14
If he set his heart upon himself, [If] he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath; |
|
34:14
If°
he set°°
his heart°
upon°
man, [if] he gather°°
unto°
himself his spirit°
and his breath;° |

34:15
All flesh shall perish together, And man shall turn again unto dust. |
|
34:15
All°
flesh°
shall perish°°
together,°
and man°
shall turn again°°
unto°
dust.° |

If now [thou hast] understanding, hear this: Hearken to the voice of my words. |
|
34:16
If°
now [thou hast] understanding,°
hear°°
this:°
hearken°°
to the voice°
of my words.° |
|
34:17
Shall even one that hateth justice govern? And wilt thou condemn him that is righteous [and] mighty? -- |
|
34:17
Shall even°
he that hateth°°
right°
govern?°°
and wilt thou condemn°°
him that is most°
just?° |
|
34:18
[Him] that saith to a king, [Thou art] vile, [Or] to nobles, [Ye are] wicked; |
|
34:18
[Is it fit] to say°°
to a king,°
[Thou art] wicked?°
[and] to°
princes,°
[Ye are] ungodly?° |
|
34:19
That respecteth not the persons of princes, Nor regardeth the rich more than the poor; For they all are the work of his hands. |
|
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.° |
|
34:20
In a moment they die, even at midnight; The people are shaken and pass away, And the mighty are taken away without hand. |
|
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.° |
|
34:21
For his eyes are upon the ways of a man, And he seeth all his goings. |
|
34:21
For°
his eyes°
[are] upon°
the ways°
of man,°
and he seeth°°
all°
his goings.° |
|
34:22
There is no darkness, nor thick gloom, Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves. |

34:22
[There is] no°
darkness,°
nor°
shadow of death,°
where°
the workers°°
of iniquity°
may hide°°
themselves.° |
|
34:23
For he needeth not further to consider a man, That he should go before God in judgment. |
|
34:23
For°
he will not°
lay°°
upon°
man°
more°
[than right]; that he should enter°°
into judgment°
with°
God.° |
|
34:24
He breaketh in pieces mighty men [in ways] past finding out, And setteth others in their stead. |
|
34:24
He shall break in pieces°°
mighty men°
without°
number,°
and set°°
others°

He striketh them as wicked men In the open sight of others; |
|
34:26
He striketh°°
them as°
wicked men°
in the open°
sight°°
of others; |
|
34:27
Because they turned aside from following him, And would not have regard in any of his ways: |
|
34:27
Because°°°
they turned back°°
from°°
him,°
and would not°
consider°°
any°
of his ways:° |
|
34:28
So that they caused the cry of the poor to come unto him, And he heard the cry of the afflicted. |
|
34:28
So that they cause the cry°
of the poor°

unto°
him, and he heareth°°
the cry°
of the afflicted.° |

When he giveth quietness, who then can condemn? And when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? Alike whether [it be done] unto a nation, or unto a man: |
|
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:° |
|
34:30
That the godless man reign not, That there be none to ensnare the people. |
|
34:30
That the hypocrite°°
reign°°
not,°°
lest the people°
be ensnared.°° |
|
34:31
For hath any said unto God, I have borne [chastisement], I will not offend [any more]: |
|
34:31
Surely it is meet°
to be said°°
unto°
God,°
I have borne°°
[chastisement], I will not°
offend°°
[any more]: |
|
34:32
That which I see not teach thou me: If I have done iniquity, I will do it no more? |
|
34:32
[That which] I see°°
not°
teach°°
thou°
me: if°
I have done°°
iniquity,°
I will do°°
no°
more. |

34:33
Shall his recompense be as thou wilt, that thou refusest it? For thou must choose, and not I: Therefore speak what thou knowest. |
|
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.°° |
|
34:34
Men of understanding will say unto me, Yea, every wise man that heareth me: |
|
34:34
Let men°°
of understanding°
tell°°
me, and let a wise°
man°
hearken°°
unto me. |
|
34:35
Job speaketh without knowledge, And his words are without wisdom. |
|
34:35
Job°
hath spoken°°
without°
knowledge,°
and his words°
[were] without°
wisdom.°° |
|
34:36
Would that Job were tried unto the end, Because of his answering like wicked men. |
|
34:36
My desire°°°
[is that] Job°
may be tried°°
unto°
the end°
because°
of [his] answers°
for wicked°
men.°° |
|
34:37
For he addeth rebellion unto his sin; He clappeth his hands among us, And multiplieth his words against God. |
|
34:37
For°
he addeth°°
rebellion°
unto°
his sin,°
he clappeth°°
[his hands] among°
us, and multiplieth°°
his words°
against God.° |
