< Job 34 >

1 And he answered Elihu and he said.
Moreouer Elihu answered, and saide,
2 Hear O wise [men] words my and O [those who] know give ear to me.
Heare my wordes, ye wise men, and hearken vnto me, ye that haue knowledge.
3 For [the] ear words it tests and [the] palate it tastes to eat.
For the eare tryeth the words, as the mouth tasteth meate.
4 Justice let us choose for ourselves let us recognize between ourselves what? [is] good.
Let vs seeke iudgement among vs, and let vs knowe among our selues what is good.
5 For he has said Job I am righteous and God he has taken away right my.
For Iob hath saide, I am righteous, and God hath taken away my iudgement.
6 On right my will I lie? [is] incurable arrow my not transgression.
Should I lye in my right? my wound of the arrowe is grieuous without my sinne.
7 Who? [is] a man like Job he drinks mockery like water.
What man is like Iob, that drinketh scornfulnesse like water?
8 And he travels for company with doers of evil and to walk with people of wickedness.
Which goeth in the companie of them that worke iniquitie, and walketh with wicked men?
9 For he has said not it profits a man when is pleased he with God.
For he hath saide, It profiteth a man nothing that he should walke with God.
10 Therefore - O people of heart listen to me far be it to God from wickedness and [the] Almighty from unrighteousness.
Therefore hearken vnto me, ye men of wisedome, God forbid that wickednesse should be in God, and iniquitie in the Almightie.
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 will render vnto man according to his worke, and cause euery one to finde according to his way.
12 Also truly God not he acts wickedly and [the] Almighty not he perverts justice.
And certainely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almightie peruert iudgement.
13 Who? did he assign on him [the] earth towards and who? did he put [the] world all of it.
Whome hath he appointed ouer the earth beside him selfe? or who hath placed the whole worlde?
14 If he will set to it heart his spirit his and breath his to himself he will gather.
If he set his heart vpon man, and gather vnto him selfe his spirit and his breath,
15 It will expire all flesh together and humankind to dust it will return.
All flesh shall perish together, and man shall returne vnto dust.
16 And if understanding hear! this give ear! to [the] sound of words my.
And if thou hast vnderstanding, heare this and hearken to the voyce of my wordes.
17 ¿ Also [one who] hates justice will he govern and or? [the] righteous [one] [the] mighty [one] will you condemn as guilty.
Shal he that hateth iudgement, gouerne? and wilt thou iudge him wicked that is most iust?
18 ¿ To say to a king worthless person wicked [one] to noble [people].
Wilt thou say vnto a King, Thou art wicked? or to princes, Ye are vngodly?
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 lesse to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, and regardeth not the rich, more then the poore? for they be all the worke of his handes.
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.
They shall die suddenly, and the people shalbe troubled at midnight, and they shall passe foorth and take away the mightie without hand.
21 For eyes his [are] on [the] ways of everyone and all steps his he sees.
For his eyes are vpon the wayes of man, and he seeth all his goings.
22 There not [is] darkness and there not [is] deep darkness to hide themselves there [those who] do wickedness.
There is no darkenesse nor shadowe of death, that the workers of iniquitie might be hid therein.
23 For not on a person he will appoint again to go to God in judgment.
For he will not lay on man so much, that he should enter into iudgement with God.
24 He breaks mighty [ones] not inquiry and he appointed others in place of them.
He shall breake the mightie without seeking, and shall set vp other in their stead.
25 Therefore he is acquainted with deeds their and he overthrows [them] night so they may be crushed.
Therefore shall he declare their works: he shall turne the night, and they shalbe destroyed.
26 In place of wicked [people] he slaps them in a place of [those who] see.
He striketh them as wicked men in the places of the seers,
27 That there-fore they turned aside from after him and all ways his not they considered.
Because they haue turned backe from him, and would not consider all his wayes:
28 To cause to come to him [the] outcry of [the] poor and [the] outcry of afflicted [people] he heard.
So that they haue caused the voyce of the poore to come vnto him, and he hath heard the cry of the afflicted.
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.
And when he giueth quietnesse, who can make trouble? and when he hideth his face, who can beholde him, whether it be vpon nations, or vpon a man onely?
30 From reigning a person godless from snares of a people.
Because the hypocrite doeth reigne, and because the people are snared.
31 For to God ¿ has anyone said I have borne not I will act corruptly.
Surely it appertaineth vnto God to say, I haue pardoned, I will not destroy.
32 Apart from [that which] I see O you instruct me if unrighteousness I have done not I will repeat.
But if I see not, teach thou me: if I haue done wickedly, I will doe 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.
Wil he performe the thing through thee? for thou hast reproued it, because that thou hast chosen, and not I. now speake what thou knowest.
34 People of heart they will say to me and a man wise [who] listens to me.
Let men of vnderstanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken vnto me.
35 Job not with knowledge he speaks and words his not [are] with insight.
Iob hath not spoken of knowledge, neyther were his wordes according to wisedome.
36 Would that! he will be tested Job until perpetuity on answers among people of wickedness.
I desire that Iob may be tryed, vnto the ende touching the answeres for wicked men.
37 For he adds to sin his transgression between us he claps and he multiplies words his to God.
For he addeth rebellion vnto his sinne: he clappeth his handes among vs, and multiplieth his wordes against God.
