Job 34 Interlinear

for the ear trieth words as the mouth tasteth meat

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

for job hath said i am righteous and god hath taken away my judgment

should i lie against my right my wound is incurable without transgression

what man is like job who drinketh up scorning like water

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

for he hath said it profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with god

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

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

yea surely god will not do wickedly neither will the almighty pervert judgment

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

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

all flesh shall perish together and man shall turn again unto dust

if now thou hast understanding hear this hearken to the voice of my words

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

is it fit to say to a king thou art wicked and to princes ye are ungodly

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

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

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

there is no darkness nor shadow of death where the workers of iniquity may hide

for he will not lay upon man more than right that he should enter into judgment with god

he shall break in pieces mighty men without number and set others

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

he striketh them as wicked men in the open sight

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

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

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

that the hypocrite reign not lest the people be ensnared

surely it is meet to be said unto god i have borne chastisement i will not offend

that which i see not teach thou me if i have done iniquity i will do

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

let men of understanding tell me and let a wise man hearken

job hath spoken without knowledge and his words were without wisdom

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

for he addeth rebellion unto his sin he clappeth his hands among us and multiplieth his words against god
