    Job 34
    •   And Elihu answereth and saith:
    •   Hear, O wise men, my words, And, O knowing ones, give ear to me.
    •   For the ear doth try words, And the palate tasteth to eat.
    •   Judgment let us choose for ourselves, Let us know among ourselves what is good.
    •   For Job hath said, `I have been righteous, And God hath turned aside my right,
    •   Against my right do I lie? Mortal is mine arrow--without transgression.'
    •   Who is a man like Job? He drinketh scoffing like water,
    •   And he hath travelled for company With workers of iniquity, So as to go with men of wickedness.
    •   For he hath said, `It doth not profit a man, When he delighteth himself with God.'
    • 10   Therefore, O men of heart, hearken to me; Far be it from God to do wickedness, And from the Mighty to do perverseness:
    • 11   For the work of man he repayeth to him, And according to the path of each He doth cause him to find.
    • 12   Yea, truly, God doth not do wickedly, And the Mighty doth not pervert judgment.
    • 13   Who hath inspected for Himself the earth? And who hath placed all the habitable world?
    • 14   If He doth set on him His heart, His spirit and his breath unto Him He gathereth.
    • 15   Expire doth all flesh together, And man to dust returneth.
    • 16   And if there is understanding, hear this, Give ear to the voice of my words.
    • 17   Yea, doth one hating justice govern? Or the Most Just dost thou condemn?
    • 18   Who hath said to a king--`Worthless,' Unto princes--`Wicked?'
    • 19   That hath not accepted the person of princes, Nor hath known the rich before the poor, For a work of His hands are all of them.
    • 20   In a moment they die, and at midnight Shake do people, and they pass away, And they remove the mighty without hand.
    • 21   For His eyes are on the ways of each, And all his steps He doth see.
    • 22   There is no darkness nor death-shade, For workers of iniquity to be hidden there;
    • 23   For He doth not suffer man any more, To go unto God in judgment,
    • 24   He breaketh the mighty--no searching! And He appointeth others in their stead.
    • 25   Therefore He knoweth their works, And He hath overturned by night, And they are bruised.
    • 26   As wicked He hath stricken them, In the place of beholders.
    • 27   Because that against right They have turned aside from after Him, And none of His ways have considered wisely,
    • 28   To cause to come in unto Him The cry of the poor, And the cry of the afflicted He heareth.
    • 29   And He giveth rest, and who maketh wrong? And hideth the face, and who beholdeth it? And in reference to a nation and to a man, It is the same.
    • 30   From the reigning of a profane man, From the snares of a people;
    • 31   For unto God hath any said: `I have taken away, I do not corruptly,
    • 32   Besides that which I see, shew Thou me, If iniquity I have done--I do not add?'
    • 33   By thee doth He recompense, That thou hast refused--That thou dost choose, and not I? And what thou hast known, speak.
    • 34   Let men of heart say to me, And a wise man is hearkening to me.
    • 35   Job--not with knowledge doth he speak, And his words are not with wisdom.
    • 36   My Father! let Job be tried--unto victory, Because of answers for men of iniquity,
    • 37   For he doth add to his sin, Transgression among us he vomiteth, And multiplieth his sayings to God.
