Job 34

Septuagint Bible w/ Apocrypha LXX

1 And Elius continued, and said,

2 Hear me, ye wise men; hearken, ye that have knowledge.

3 For the ear tries words, and the mouth tastes meat.

4 Let us choose judgment to ourselves: let us know amount ourselves what is right.

5 For Job has said, I am righteous: the Lord has removed my judgment.

6 And he has erred in my judgment: my wound is severe without unrighteousness .

7 What man is as Job, drinking scorning like water?

8 , I have not sinned, nor committed ungodliness, nor had fellowship with workers of iniquity, to go with the ungodly.

9 For thou shouldest not say, There shall be no visitation of a man, whereas a visitation on him from the Lord.

10 Wherefore hear me, ye that are wise in heart: far be it from me to sin before the Lord, and to pervert righteousness before the almighty.

11 Yea, he renders to a man accordingly as each of them does, and in a man's path he will find him.

12 And thinkest thou that the Lord will do wrong, or will the Almighty who made the earth wrest judgment?

13 And who is he that made under heaven, and all things therein?

14 For if he would confine, and restrain his spirit with himself;

15 all flesh would die together, and every mortal would return to the earth, whence also he was formed.

16 Take heed lest he rebuke : hear this, hearken to the voice of words.

17 Behold then the one that hates iniquities, and that destroys the wicked, who is for ever just.

18 ungodly that says to a king, Thou art a transgressor, to princes, O most ungodly one.

19 as would not reverence the face of an honourable man, neither knows how to give honour to the great, so as that their persons should be respected.

20 But it shall turn out vanity to them, to cry and beseech a man; for they dealt unlawfully, the poor being turned aside .

21 For he surveys the works of men, and nothing of what they do has escaped him.

22 Neither shall there be a place for the workers of iniquity to hide themselves.

23 For he will not lay upon a man more .

24 For the Lord looks down upon all men, who comprehends unsearchable things, glorious also and excellent things without number.

25 Who discovers their works, and will bring night about , and they shall be brought low.

26 And he quite destroys the ungodly, for they are seen before him.

27 Because they turned aside from the law of God, and did not regard his ordinances,

28 so as to bring before him the cry of the needy; for he will hear the cry of the poor.

29 And he will give quiet, and who will condemn? and he will hide his face, and who shall see him? whether against a nation, or against a man also:

30 causing a hypocrite to be king, because of the waywardness of the people.

31 For one that says to the Mighty One, I have received ; I will not take a pledge:

32 I will see apart from myself: do thou shew me if I have done unrighteousness; I will not do any more.

33 Will he take vengeance for it on thee, whereas thou wilt put far ? for thou shalt choose, and not I; and what thou knowest, speak thou.

34 Because the wise in heart shall say this, and a wise man listens to my word.

35 But Job has not spoken with understanding, his words are not with knowledge.

36 Howbeit do thou learn, Job: no longer make answer as the foolish:

37 that we add not to our sins: for iniquity will be reckoned against us, if speak many words before the Lord.

New International Version NIV

1 Then Elihu said:

2 “Hear my words, you wise men; listen to me, you men of learning.

3 For the ear tests words as the tongue tastes food.

4 Let us discern for ourselves what is right; let us learn together what is good.

5 “Job says, ‘I am innocent, but God denies me justice.

6 Although I am right, I am considered a liar; although I am guiltless, his arrow inflicts an incurable wound.’

7 Is there anyone like Job, who drinks scorn like water?

8 He keeps company with evildoers; he associates with the wicked.

9 For he says, ‘There is no profit in trying to please God.’

10 “So listen to me, you men of understanding. Far be it from God to do evil, from the Almighty to do wrong.

11 He repays everyone for what they have done; he brings on them what their conduct deserves.

12 It is unthinkable that God would do wrong, that the Almighty would pervert justice.

13 Who appointed him over the earth? Who put him in charge of the whole world?

14 If it were his intention and he withdrew his spirit and breath,

15 all humanity would perish together and mankind would return to the dust.

16 “If you have understanding, hear this; listen to what I say.

17 Can someone who hates justice govern? Will you condemn the just and mighty One?

18 Is he not the One who says to kings, ‘You are worthless,’ and to nobles, ‘You are wicked,’

19 who shows no partiality to princes and does not favor the rich over the poor, for they are all the work of his hands?

20 They die in an instant, in the middle of the night; the people are shaken and they pass away; the mighty are removed without human hand.

21 “His eyes are on the ways of mortals; he sees their every step.

22 There is no deep shadow, no utter darkness, where evildoers can hide.

23 God has no need to examine people further, that they should come before him for judgment.

24 Without inquiry he shatters the mighty and sets up others in their place.

25 Because he takes note of their deeds, he overthrows them in the night and they are crushed.

26 He punishes them for their wickedness where everyone can see them,

27 because they turned from following him and had no regard for any of his ways.

28 They caused the cry of the poor to come before him, so that he heard the cry of the needy.

29 But if he remains silent, who can condemn him? If he hides his face, who can see him? Yet he is over individual and nation alike,

30 to keep the godless from ruling, from laying snares for the people.

31 “Suppose someone says to God, ‘I am guilty but will offend no more.

32 Teach me what I cannot see; if I have done wrong, I will not do so again.’

33 Should God then reward you on your terms, when you refuse to repent? You must decide, not I; so tell me what you know.

34 “Men of understanding declare, wise men who hear me say to me,

35 ‘Job speaks without knowledge; his words lack insight.’

36 Oh, that Job might be tested to the utmost for answering like a wicked man!

37 To his sin he adds rebellion; scornfully he claps his hands among us and multiplies his words against God.”
