  34:1 ¶
And Elihu{gr.Elius} continued, and said, |
|
34:1 ¶
Furthermore Elihu°
answered°°
and said,°° |
|
34:2
Hear me, ye wise men; hearken, ye that have knowledge. |
|
34:2
Hear°°
my words,°
O ye wise°
[men]; and give ear°°
unto me, ye that have knowledge.°° |
|
34:3
For the ear tries words, and the mouth tastes meat. |
|
34:3
For°
the ear°
trieth°°
words,°
as the mouth°
tasteth°°
meat.°° |
|
34:4
Let us choose judgment to ourselves: let us know amount ourselves what is right. |
|
34:4
Let us choose°°
to us judgment:°
let us know°°
among°
ourselves what°
[is] good.° |
|
34:5
For Job has said, I am righteous: the Lord has removed my judgment. |
|
34:5
For°
Job°
hath said,°°
I am righteous:°°
and El°
hath taken away°°
my judgment.° |
|
34:6
And he has erred in my judgment: my wound is severe without unrighteousness [of mine]. |
|
34:6
Should I lie°°
against°
my right?°
my wound°
[is] incurable°°
without°
transgression.° |
|
34:7
What man is as Job, drinking scorning like water? |
|
34:7
What°
man°
[is] like Job,°
[who] drinketh up°°
scorning°
like water?° |
|
34:8
[saying], I have not sinned, nor committed ungodliness, nor had fellowship with workers of iniquity, to go with the ungodly. |
|
34:8
Which goeth°°
in company°
with°
the workers°°
of iniquity,°
and walketh°°°
with°
wicked°
men.°° |
|
34:9
For thou shouldest not say, There shall be no visitation of a man, whereas [there is] a visitation on him from the Lord. |
|
34:9
For°
he hath said,°°
It profiteth°°
a man°
nothing°
that he should delight°°
himself with°
Elohim.° |
|
34:10
Wherefore hear me, ye that are wise in heart: far be it from me to sin before the Lord, and to pervert righteousness before the almighty. |
|
34:10
Therefore°
hearken°°
unto me, ye men°°
of understanding:°
far be it°
from El,°
[that he should do] wickedness;°°
and [from] Shaddai,°
[that he should commit] iniquity.°° |
|
34:11
Yea, he renders to a man accordingly as each of them does, and in a man's path he will find him. |
|
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
And thinkest thou that the Lord will do wrong, or will the Almighty who made the earth wrest judgment? |
|
34:12
Yea,°
surely°
El°
will not°
do wickedly,°°
neither°
will Shaddai°
pervert°°
judgment.° |
|
34:13
And who is he that made [the whole world] under heaven, and all things therein? |
|
34:13
Who°
hath given him a charge°°°
over the earth?°
or who°
hath disposed°°
the whole°
world?° |
|
34:14
For if he would confine, and restrain his spirit with himself; |
|
34:14
If°
he set°°
his heart°
upon°
man, [if] he gather°°
unto°
himself his spirit°
and his breath;° |
|
34:15
all flesh would die together, and every mortal would return to the earth, whence also he was formed. |
|
34:15
All°
flesh°
shall perish°°
together,°
and man°
shall turn again°°
unto°
dust.° |
|
34:16
Take heed lest he rebuke [thee]: hear this, hearken to the voice of words. |
|
34:16
If°
now [thou hast] understanding,°
hear°°
this:°
hearken°°
to the voice°
of my words.° |
|
34:17
Behold then the one that hates iniquities, and that destroys the wicked, who is for ever just. |
|
34:17
Shall even°
he that hateth°°
right°
govern?°°
and wilt thou condemn°°
him that is most°
just?° |
|
34:18
[He is] ungodly that says to a king, Thou art a transgressor, [that says] to princes, O most ungodly one. |
|
34:18
[Is it fit] to say°°
to a king,°
[Thou art] wicked?°
[and] to°
princes,°
[Ye are] ungodly?° |
|
34:19
[Such a one] as would not reverence the face of an honourable man, neither knows how to give honour to the great, so as that their persons should be respected. |
|
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
But it shall turn out vanity to them, to cry and beseech a man; for they dealt unlawfully, the poor being turned aside [from their right]. |
|
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 he surveys the works of men, and nothing of what they do has escaped him. |
|
34:21
For°
his eyes°
[are] upon°
the ways°
of man,°
and he seeth°°
all°
his goings.° |
|
34:22
Neither shall there be a place for the workers of iniquity to hide themselves. |
|
34:22
[There is] no°
darkness,°
nor°
shadow of death,°
where°
the workers°°
of iniquity°
may hide°°
themselves.° |
|
34:23
For he will not lay upon a man more [than right]. |
|
34:23
For°
he will not°
lay°°
upon°
man°
more°
[than right]; that he should enter°°
into judgment°
with°
El.° |
|
34:24
For the Lord looks down upon all men, who comprehends unsearchable things, glorious also and excellent things without number. |
|
34:24
He shall break in pieces°°
mighty men°
without°
number,°
and set°°
others°
in their stead.° |
|
34:25
Who discovers their works, and will bring night about [upon them], and they shall be brought low. |
|
34:25
Therefore°
he knoweth°°
their works,°
and he overturneth°°
[them] in the night,°
so that they are destroyed.°° |
|
34:26
And he quite destroys the ungodly, for they are seen before him. |
|
34:26
He striketh°°
them as°
wicked men°
in the open°
sight°°
of others; |
|
34:27
Because they turned aside from the law of God, and did not regard his ordinances, |
|
34:27
Because°°°
they turned back°°
from°°
him,°
and would not°
consider°°
any°
of his ways:° |
|
34:28
so as to bring before him the cry of the needy; for he will hear the cry of the poor. |
|
34:28
So that they cause the cry°
of the poor°
to come°°
unto°
him, and he heareth°°
the cry°
of the afflicted.° |
|
34:29
And he will give quiet, and who will condemn? and he will hide his face, and who shall see him? whether [it be done] against a nation, or against a man also: |
|
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
causing a hypocrite to be king, because of the waywardness of the people. |
|
34:30
That the hypocrite°°
reign°°
not,°°
lest the people°
be ensnared.°° |
|
34:31
For [there is] one that says to the Mighty One, I have received [blessings]; I will not take a pledge: |
|
34:31
Surely it is meet°
to be said°°
unto°
El,°
I have borne°°
[chastisement], I will not°
offend°°
[any more]: |
|
34:32
I will see apart from myself: do thou shew me if I have done unrighteousness; I will not do [so] any more. |
|
34:32
[That which] I see°°
not°
teach°°
thou°
me: if°
I have done°°
iniquity,°
I will do°°
no°
more. |
|
34:33
Will he take vengeance for it on thee, whereas thou wilt put [it] far [from thee]? for thou shalt choose, and not I; and what thou knowest, speak thou. |
|
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
Because the wise in heart shall say this, and a wise man listens to my word. |
|
34:34
Let men°°
of understanding°
tell°°
me, and let a wise°
man°
hearken°°
unto me. |
|
34:35
But Job has not spoken with understanding, his words are not [uttered] with knowledge. |
|
34:35
Job°
hath spoken°°
without°
knowledge,°
and his words°
[were] without°
wisdom.°° |
|
34:36
Howbeit do thou learn, Job: no longer make answer as the foolish: |
|
34:36
My desire°°°
[is that] Job°
may be tried°°
unto°
the end°
because°
of [his] answers°
for wicked°
men.°° |
|
34:37
that we add not to our sins: for iniquity will be reckoned against us, if [we] speak many words before the Lord. |
|
34:37
For°
he addeth°°
rebellion°
unto°
his sin,°
he clappeth°°
[his hands] among°
us, and multiplieth°°
his words°
against El.° |
