Furthermore Elihu answered and said, |
2
|
Hear my words, O ye wise [men;] and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge. |
3
|
For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat. |
4
|
Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what [is] good. |
5
|
For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment. |
6
|
Should I lie against my right? my wound [is] incurable without transgression. |
7
|
What man [is] like Job, [who] drinketh up scorning like water? |
8
|
Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men. |
9
|
For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God. |
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. |
11
|
For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to [his] ways. |
12
|
Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment. |
13
|
Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed the whole world? |
14
|
If he set his heart upon man, [if] he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath; |
15
|
All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust. |
16
|
If now [thou hast] understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words. |
17
|
Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just? |
18
|
[Is it fit] to say to a king, [Thou art] wicked? [and] to princes, [Ye are] ungodly? |
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. |
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. |
21
|
For his eyes [are] upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings. |
22
|
[There is] no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves. |
23
|
For he will not lay upon man more [than right;] that he should enter into judgment with God. |
24
|
He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead. |
25
|
Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth [them] in the night, so that they are destroyed. |
26
|
He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others; |
27
|
Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways: |
28
|
So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted. |
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: |
30
|
That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared. |
31
|
Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne [chastisement,] I will not offend [any more: ] |
32
|
[That which] I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more. |
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
|
Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken unto me. |
35
|
Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words [were] without wisdom. |
36
|
My desire [is that] Job may be tried unto the end because of [his] answers for wicked men. |
37
|
For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth [his hands] among us, and multiplieth his words against God. |
