Job - Chapter: 34

>
34:1Furthermore Elihu answered and said,
34:2Hear my words, O ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.
34:3For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat.
34:4Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good.
34:5For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment.
34:6Should I lie against my right? my wound is incurable without transgression.
34:7What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water?
34:8Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men.
34:9For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.
34:10Therefore 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.
34:11For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.
34:12Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.
34:13Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed the whole world?
34:14If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;
34:15All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust.
34:16If now thou hast understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words.
34:17Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just?
34:18Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes, Ye are ungodly?
34:19How 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.
34:20In 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.
34:21For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings.
34:22There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
34:23For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should enter into judgment with God.
34:24He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead.
34:25Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
34:26He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others;
34:27Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways:
34:28So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.
34:29When 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:
34:30That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared.
34:31Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more:
34:32That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.
34:33Should 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.
34:34Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken unto me.
34:35Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom.
34:36My desire is that Job may be tried unto the end because of his answers for wicked men.
34:37For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God.

 

34:1ויען אליהוא ויאמר׃
34:2שׁמעו חכמים מלי וידעים האזינו׃
34:3כי אזן מלין תבחן וחך יטעם לאכל׃
34:4משׁפט נבחרה לנו נדעה בינינו מה טוב׃
34:5כי אמר איוב צדקתי ואל הסיר משׁפטי׃
34:6על משׁפטי אכזב אנושׁ חצי בלי פשׁע׃
34:7מי גבר כאיוב ישׁתה לעג כמים׃
34:8וארח לחברה עם פעלי און וללכת עם אנשׁי רשׁע׃
34:9כי אמר לא יסכן גבר ברצתו עם אלהים׃
34:10לכן אנשׁי לבב שׁמעו לי חללה לאל מרשׁע ושׁדי מעול׃
34:11כי פעל אדם ישׁלם לו וכארח אישׁ ימצאנו׃
34:12אף אמנם אל לא ירשׁיע ושׁדי לא יעות משׁפט׃
34:13מי פקד עליו ארצה ומי שׂם תבל כלה׃
34:14אם ישׂים אליו לבו רוחו ונשׁמתו אליו יאסף׃
34:15יגוע כל בשׂר יחד ואדם על עפר ישׁוב׃
34:16ואם בינה שׁמעה זאת האזינה לקול מלי׃
34:17האף שׂונא משׁפט יחבושׁ ואם צדיק כביר תרשׁיע׃
34:18האמר למלך בליעל רשׁע אל נדיבים׃
34:19אשׁר לא נשׂא פני שׂרים ולא נכר שׁוע לפני דל כי מעשׂה ידיו כלם׃
34:20רגע ימתו וחצות לילה יגעשׁו עם ויעברו ויסירו אביר לא ביד׃
34:21כי עיניו על דרכי אישׁ וכל צעדיו יראה׃
34:22אין חשׁך ואין צלמות להסתר שׁם פעלי און׃
34:23כי לא על אישׁ ישׂים עוד להלך אל אל במשׁפט׃
34:24ירע כבירים לא חקר ויעמד אחרים תחתם׃
34:25לכן יכיר מעבדיהם והפך לילה וידכאו׃
34:26תחת רשׁעים ספקם במקום ראים׃
34:27אשׁר על כן סרו מאחריו וכל דרכיו לא השׂכילו׃
34:28להביא עליו צעקת דל וצעקת עניים ישׁמע׃
34:29והוא ישׁקט ומי ירשׁע ויסתר פנים ומי ישׁורנו ועל גוי ועל אדם יחד׃
34:30ממלך אדם חנף ממקשׁי עם׃
34:31כי אל אל האמר נשׂאתי לא אחבל׃
34:32בלעדי אחזה אתה הרני אם עול פעלתי לא אסיף׃
34:33המעמך ישׁלמנה כי מאסת כי אתה תבחר ולא אני ומה ידעת דבר׃
34:34אנשׁי לבב יאמרו לי וגבר חכם שׁמע׃
34:35איוב לא בדעת ידבר ודבריו לא בהשׂכיל׃
34:36אבי יבחן איוב עד נצח על תשׁבת באנשׁי און׃
34:37כי יסיף על חטאתו פשׁע בינינו יספוק וירב אמריו לאל׃

 

34:1And Elihu answereth and saith:
34:2Hear, O wise men, my words, And, O knowing ones, give ear to me.
34:3For the ear doth try words, And the palate tasteth to eat.
34:4Judgment let us choose for ourselves, Let us know among ourselves what `is' good.
34:5For Job hath said, `I have been righteous, And God hath turned aside my right,
34:6Against my right do I lie? Mortal `is' mine arrow -- without transgression.'
34:7Who `is' a man like Job? He drinketh scoffing like water,
34:8And he hath travelled for company With workers of iniquity, So as to go with men of wickedness.
34:9For he hath said, `It doth not profit a man, When he delighteth himself with God.'
34:10Therefore, O men of heart, hearken to me; Far be it from God to do wickedness, And `from' the Mighty to do perverseness:
34:11For the work of man he repayeth to him, And according to the path of each He doth cause him to find.
34:12Yea, truly, God doth not do wickedly, And the Mighty doth not pervert judgment.
34:13Who hath inspected for Himself the earth? And who hath placed all the habitable world?
34:14If He doth set on him His heart, His spirit and his breath unto Him He gathereth.
34:15Expire doth all flesh together, And man to dust returneth.
34:16And if `there is' understanding, hear this, Give ear to the voice of my words.
34:17Yea, doth one hating justice govern? Or the Most Just dost thou condemn?
34:18Who hath said to a king -- `Worthless,' Unto princes -- `Wicked?'
34:19That 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.
34:20`In' a moment they die, and at midnight Shake do people, and they pass away, And they remove the mighty without hand.
34:21For His eyes `are' on the ways of each, And all his steps He doth see.
34:22There is no darkness nor death-shade, For workers of iniquity to be hidden there;
34:23For He doth not suffer man any more, To go unto God in judgment,
34:24He breaketh the mighty -- no searching! And He appointeth others in their stead.
34:25Therefore He knoweth their works, And He hath overturned by night, And they are bruised.
34:26As wicked He hath stricken them, In the place of beholders.
34:27Because that against right They have turned aside from after Him, And none of His ways have considered wisely,
34:28To cause to come in unto Him The cry of the poor, And the cry of the afflicted He heareth.
34:29And 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.
34:30From the reigning of a profane man, From the snares of a people;
34:31For unto God hath any said: `I have taken away, I do not corruptly,
34:32Besides `that which' I see, shew Thou me, If iniquity I have done -- I do not add?'
34:33By thee doth He recompense, That thou hast refused -- That thou dost choose, and not I? And what thou hast known, speak.
34:34Let men of heart say to me, And a wise man is hearkening to me.
34:35Job -- not with knowledge doth he speak, And his words `are' not with wisdom.
34:36My Father! let Job be tried -- unto victory, Because of answers for men of iniquity,
34:37For he doth add to his sin, Transgression among us he vomiteth, And multiplieth his sayings to God.
