034:001

Hear my words, O ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge

034:002

For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat

034:003

Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good

034:004

For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment

034:005

Should I lie against my right? my wound is incurable without transgression

034:006

What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water

034:007

Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men

034:008

For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God

034:009

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

034:010

For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways

034:011

Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment

034:012

Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed the whole world

034:013

If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath

034:014

All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust

034:015

If now thou hast understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words

034:016

Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just

034:017

Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes, Ye are ungodly

034:018

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

034:019

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

034:020

For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings

034:021

There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves

034:022

For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should enter into judgment with God

034:023

He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead

034:024

Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed

034:025

He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others

034:026

Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways

034:027

So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted

034:028

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

034:029

That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared

034:030

Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more

034:031

That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more

034:032

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

034:033

Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken unto me

034:034

Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom

034:035

My desire is that Job may be tried unto the end because of his answers for wicked men

034:036

For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God
