34:7 What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water?
34:8 Who 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.
34:10 Therefore hearken to me, ye men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that he should commitiniquity.
34:11 For the work of a man he shall render to him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.
34:12 Yes, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.
34:13 Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed the whole world?
34:14 If he should set his heart upon man, if he should gather to himself his spirit and his breath;
34:15 All flesh would perish together, and man would turn again to dust.
34:16 If now thou hast understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words.
34:17 Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just?
34:18 Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes, Ye are ungodly?
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 shall 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 man, and he seeth all his goings.
34:23 For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should enter into judgment with God.
34:24 He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead.
34:25 Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
34:26 He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others;
34:27 Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways:
34:28 So that they cause the cry of the poor to come to him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.
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:
34:31 Surely it is meet to be said to 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 no more.
34:33 Should it be according to thy mind? he will recompense it, whether thou shalt refuse, or whether thou shalt choose; and not I: therefore speak what thou knowest.
34:34 Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken to me.
34:35 Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom.
34:36 My desire is that Job may be tried to the end, because of his answers for wicked men.
34:37 For he addeth rebellion to his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God.
