1 And Elihu answereth and saith: YLT — Job 34:1
2 Hear, O wise men, my words, And, O knowing ones, give ear to me. YLT — Job 34:2
3 For the ear doth try words, And the palate tasteth to eat. YLT — Job 34:3
4 Judgment let us choose for ourselves, Let us know among ourselves what [is] good. YLT — Job 34:4
5 For Job hath said, ‘I have been righteous, And God hath turned aside my right, YLT — Job 34:5
6 Against my right do I lie? Mortal [is] mine arrow — without transgression.’ YLT — Job 34:6
7 Who [is] a man like Job? He drinketh scoffing like water, YLT — Job 34:7
8 And he hath travelled for company With workers of iniquity, So as to go with men of wickedness. YLT — Job 34:8
9 For he hath said, ‘It doth not profit a man, When he delighteth himself with God.’ YLT — Job 34:9
10 Therefore, O men of heart, hearken to me; Far be it from God to do wickedness, And [from] the Mighty to do perverseness: YLT — Job 34:10
11 For the work of man he repayeth to him, And according to the path of each He doth cause him to find. YLT — Job 34:11
12 Yea, truly, God doth not do wickedly, And the Mighty doth not pervert judgment. YLT — Job 34:12
13 Who hath inspected for Himself the earth? And who hath placed all the habitable world? YLT — Job 34:13
14 If He doth set on him His heart, His spirit and his breath unto Him He gathereth. YLT — Job 34:14
15 Expire doth all flesh together, And man to dust returneth. YLT — Job 34:15
16 And if [there is] understanding, hear this, Give ear to the voice of my words. YLT — Job 34:16
17 Yea, doth one hating justice govern? Or the Most Just dost thou condemn? YLT — Job 34:17
18 Who hath said to a king — ‘Worthless,’ Unto princes — ‘Wicked?’ YLT — Job 34:18
19 That hath not accepted the person of princes, Nor hath known the rich before the poor, For a work of His hands [are] all of them. YLT — Job 34:19
20 [In] a moment they die, and at midnight Shake do people, and they pass away, And they remove the mighty without hand. YLT — Job 34:20
21 For His eyes [are] on the ways of each, And all his steps He doth see. YLT — Job 34:21
22 There is no darkness nor death-shade, For workers of iniquity to be hidden there; YLT — Job 34:22
23 For He doth not suffer man any more, To go unto God in judgment, YLT — Job 34:23
24 He breaketh the mighty — no searching! And He appointeth others in their stead. YLT — Job 34:24
25 Therefore He knoweth their works, And He hath overturned by night, And they are bruised. YLT — Job 34:25
26 As wicked He hath stricken them, In the place of beholders. YLT — Job 34:26
27 Because that against right They have turned aside from after Him, And none of His ways have considered wisely, YLT — Job 34:27
28 To cause to come in unto Him The cry of the poor, And the cry of the afflicted He heareth. YLT — Job 34:28
29 And He giveth rest, and who maketh wrong? And hideth the face, and who beholdeth it? And in reference to a nation and to a man, [It is] the same. YLT — Job 34:29
30 From the reigning of a profane man, From the snares of a people; YLT — Job 34:30
31 For unto God hath any said: ‘I have taken away, I do not corruptly, YLT — Job 34:31
32 Besides [that which] I see, shew Thou me, If iniquity I have done — I do not add?’ YLT — Job 34:32
33 By thee doth He recompense, That thou hast refused — That thou dost choose, and not I? And what thou hast known, speak. YLT — Job 34:33
34 Let men of heart say to me, And a wise man is hearkening to me. YLT — Job 34:34
35 Job — not with knowledge doth he speak, And his words [are] not with wisdom. YLT — Job 34:35
36 My Father! let Job be tried — unto victory, Because of answers for men of iniquity, YLT — Job 34:36
37 For he doth add to his sin, Transgression among us he vomiteth, And multiplieth his sayings to God. YLT — Job 34:37
