Job
Job 34 ©
1 Elihu chargeth Job with calling to account God's justice; 10 whose sovereign perfections suffer him not to be unjust. 31 Man ought to humble himself before God. 34 Job is blamed for his rash discourses.
FURTHERMORE Elihu answered and said,
Hear my words, O aye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.
For the jwork of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find kaccording to his ways.
Who nhath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed 4the whole world?
If ohe set his heart 5upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;
If now thou rhast understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words.
tIs it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes, Ye are ungodly?
In ya moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and 7the mighty shall be taken away zwithout hand.
For dhe will not lay upon man more than right; that he should 8enter into judgment with God.
He striketh them as wicked men 11in the open sight of others;
That pwhich I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, qI will do no more.
13Should it be according to thy mind? he rwill recompense it, whether thou refuse, or whether thou choose; and not I: therefore speak what thou knowest.
Let men 14of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken unto me.
