Job 34

New Revised Standard NRS

1 Then Elihu continued and said:

2 "Hear my words, you wise men, and give ear to me, you who know;

3 for the ear tests words as the palate tastes food.

4 Let us choose what is right; let us determine among ourselves what is good.

5 For Job has said, "I am innocent, and God has taken away my right;

6 in spite of being right I am counted a liar; my wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.'

7 Who is there like Job, who drinks up scoffing like water,

8 who goes in company with evildoers and walks with the wicked?

9 For he has said, "It profits one nothing to take delight in God.'

10 "Therefore, hear me, you who have sense, far be it from God that he should do wickedness, and from the Almighty that he should do wrong.

11 For according to their deeds he will repay them, and according to their ways he will make it befall them.

12 Of a truth, God will not do wickedly, and the Almighty will not pervert justice.

13 Who gave him charge over the earth and who laid on him the whole world?

14 If he should take back his spirit to himself, and gather to himself his breath,

15 all flesh would perish together, and all mortals return to dust.

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

17 Shall one who hates justice govern? Will you condemn one who is righteous and mighty,

18 who says to a king, "You scoundrel!' and to princes, "You wicked men!';

19 who shows no partiality to nobles, nor regards the rich more than the poor, for they are all the work of his hands?

20 In a moment they die; at midnight the people are shaken and pass away, and the mighty are taken away by no human hand.

21 "For his eyes are upon the ways of mortals, and he sees all their steps.

22 There is no gloom or deep darkness where evildoers may hide themselves.

23 For he has not appointed a time for anyone to go before God in judgment.

24 He shatters the mighty without investigation, and sets others in their place.

25 Thus, knowing their works, he overturns them in the night, and they are crushed.

26 He strikes them for their wickedness while others look on,

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

28 so that they caused the cry of the poor to come to him, and he heard the cry of the afflicted—

29 When he is quiet, who can condemn? When he hides his face, who can behold him, whether it be a nation or an individual?—

30 so that the godless should not reign, or those who ensnare the people.

31 "For has anyone said to God, "I have endured punishment; I will not offend any more;

32 teach me what I do not see; if I have done iniquity, I will do it no more'?

33 Will he then pay back to suit you, because you reject it? For you must choose, and not I; therefore declare what you know.

34 Those who have sense will say to me, and the wise who hear me will say,

35 "Job speaks without knowledge, his words are without insight.'

36 Would that Job were tried to the limit, because his answers are those of the wicked.

37 For he adds rebellion to his sin; he claps his hands among us, and multiplies his words against God."

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 pronuntians itaque Heliu etiam haec locutus est

2 audite sapientes verba mea et eruditi auscultate me

3 auris enim verba probat et guttur escas gustu diiudicat

4 iudicium eligamus nobis et inter nos videamus quid sit melius

5 quia dixit Iob iustus sum et Deus subvertit iudicium meum

6 in iudicando enim me mendacium est violenta sagitta mea absque ullo peccato

7 quis est vir ut est Iob qui bibit subsannationem quasi aquam

8 qui graditur cum operantibus iniquitatem et ambulat cum viris impiis

9 dixit enim non placebit vir Deo etiam si cucurrerit cum eo

10 ideo viri cordati audite me absit a Deo impietas et ab Omnipotente iniquitas

11 opus enim hominis reddet ei et iuxta vias singulorum restituet

12 vere enim Deus non condemnabit frustra nec Omnipotens subvertet iudicium

13 quem constituit alium super terram aut quem posuit super orbem quem fabricatus est

14 si direxerit ad eum cor suum spiritum illius et flatum ad se trahet

15 deficiet omnis caro simul et homo in cinerem revertetur

16 si habes ergo intellectum audi quod dicitur et ausculta vocem eloquii mei

17 numquid qui non amat iudicium sanare potest et quomodo tu eum qui iustus est in tantum condemnas

18 qui dicit regi apostata qui vocat duces impios

19 qui non accipit personas principum nec cognovit tyrannum cum disceptaret contra pauperem opus enim manuum eius sunt universi

20 subito morientur et in media nocte turbabuntur populi et pertransibunt et auferent violentum absque manu

21 oculi enim eius super vias hominum et omnes gressus eorum considerat

22 non sunt tenebrae et non est umbra mortis ut abscondantur ibi qui operantur iniquitatem

23 neque enim ultra in hominis potestate est ut veniat ad Deum in iudicium

24 conteret multos innumerabiles et stare faciet alios pro eis

25 novit enim opera eorum et idcirco inducet noctem et conterentur

26 quasi impios percussit eos in loco videntium

27 qui quasi de industria recesserunt ab eo et omnes vias eius intellegere noluerunt

28 ut pervenire facerent ad eum clamorem egeni et audiret vocem pauperum

29 ipso enim concedente pacem quis est qui condemnet ex quo absconderit vultum quis est qui contempletur eum et super gentem et super omnes homines

30 qui regnare facit hominem hypocritam propter peccata populi

31 quia ergo ego locutus sum ad Deum te quoque non prohibeo

32 si erravi tu doce me si iniquitatem locutus sum ultra non addam

33 numquid a te Deus expetit eam quia displicuit tibi tu enim coepisti loqui et non ego quod si quid nosti melius loquere

34 viri intellegentes loquantur mihi et vir sapiens audiat me

35 Iob autem stulte locutus est et verba illius non sonant disciplinam

36 pater mi probetur Iob usque ad finem ne desinas in hominibus iniquitatis

37 quia addit super peccata sua blasphemiam inter nos interim constringatur et tunc ad iudicium provocet sermonibus suis Deum
