032:001 | So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes. |
032:002 | Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God. |
032:003 | Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job. |
032:004 | Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he. |
032:005 | When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled. |
032:006 | And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; wherefore I was afraid, and durst not shew you mine opinion. |
032:007 | I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom. |
032:008 | But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding. |
032:009 | Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment. |
032:010 | Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion. |
032:011 | Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say. |
032:012 | Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words: |
032:013 | Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man. |
032:014 | Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches. |
032:015 | They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking. |
032:016 | When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and answered no more;) |
032:017 | I said, I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion. |
032:018 | For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me. |
032:019 | Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles. |
032:020 | I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer. |
032:021 | Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man. |
032:022 | For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away. |
033:001 | Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words. |
033:002 | Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth. |
033:003 | My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly. |
033:004 | The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life. |
033:005 | If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me, stand up. |
033:006 | Behold, I am according to thy wish in God's stead: I also am formed out of the clay. |
033:007 | Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee. |
033:008 | Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words, saying, |
033:009 | I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me. |
033:010 | Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy, |
033:011 | He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths. |
033:012 | Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man. |
033:013 | Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters. |
033:014 | For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not. |
033:015 | In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; |
033:016 | Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction, |
033:017 | That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man. |
033:018 | He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword. |
033:019 | He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain: |
033:020 | So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat. |
033:021 | His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out. |
033:022 | Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers. |
033:023 | If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness: |
033:024 | Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom. |
033:025 | His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth: |
033:026 | He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness. |
033:027 | He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not; |
033:028 | He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light. |
033:029 | Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man, |
033:030 | To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living. |
033:031 | Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I will speak. |
033:032 | If thou hast anything to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify thee. |
033:033 | If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom. |
034:001 | Furthermore Elihu answered and said, |
034:002 | Hear my words, O ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge. |
034:003 | For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat. |
034:004 | Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good. |
034:005 | For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment. |
034:006 | Should I lie against my right? my wound is incurable without transgression. |
034:007 | What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water? |
034:008 | Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men. |
034:009 | For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God. |
034:010 | 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. |
034:011 | For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways. |
034:012 | Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment. |
034:013 | Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed the whole world? |
034:014 | If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath; |
034:015 | All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust. |
034:016 | If now thou hast understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words. |
034:017 | Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just? |
034:018 | Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes, Ye are ungodly? |
034:019 | 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. |
034:020 | 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. |
034:021 | For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings. |
034:022 | There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves. |
034:023 | For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should enter into judgment with God. |
034:024 | He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead. |
034:025 | Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed. |
034:026 | He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others; |
034:027 | Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways: |
034:028 | So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted. |
034:029 | 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: |
034:030 | That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared. |
034:031 | Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more: |
034:032 | That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more. |
034:033 | 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. |
034:034 | Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken unto me. |
034:035 | Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom. |
034:036 | My desire is that Job may be tried unto the end because of his answers for wicked men. |
034:037 | For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God. |
