Job 34:1-15
-
1 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.
