Job 34:1 (AMP) Amplified Bibles

1 ELIHU ANSWERED (continued his discourse) and said,
2 Hear my words, you wise men, and give ear to me, you who have so much knowledge.
3 For the ear tries words as the palate tastes food.
4 Let us choose for ourselves that which is right; let us know among ourselves what is good.
5 For Job has said, I am innocent and uncompromisingly righteous, but God has taken away my right; Job 33:9.
6 Would I lie against my right? Yet, notwithstanding my right, I am counted a liar. My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.
7 What man is like Job, who drinks up scoffing and scorning like water,
8 Who goes in company with the workers of iniquity and walks with wicked men?
9 For he has said, It profits a man nothing that he should delight himself with God and consent to Him.
10 Therefore hear me, you men of understanding. Far be it from God that He should do wickedness, and from the Almighty that He should commit iniquity.
11 For according to the deeds of a man God will exactly proportion his pay, and He will cause every man to find recompense according to his ways.
12 Truly God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert justice.
13 Who put God in charge over the earth? Or who laid on Him the whole world?
14 If God should set His heart upon him man and withdraw His life-giving spirit and His breath from man to Himself,
15 All flesh would perish together, and man would turn again to dust. Ps. 104:29; Eccl. 12:7.
16 If now you have understanding, hear this; listen to my words.
17 Is it possible that an enemy of right should govern? And will you condemn Him Who is just and mighty?
18 God Who says to a king, You are worthless and vile, or to princes and nobles, You are ungodly and evil?
19 God is not partial to princes, nor does He regard the rich more than the poor, for they all are the work of His hands.
20 In a moment they die; even at midnight the people are shaken and pass away, and the mighty are taken away by no human hand.
21 For God's eyes are upon the ways of a man, and He sees all his steps. Ps. 34:15; Prov. 5:21; Jer. 16:17.
22 There is no darkness nor thick gloom where the evildoers may hide themselves.
23 God sets before man no appointed time, that he should appear before Him in judgment.
24 He breaks in pieces mighty men without inquiry before a jury and in ways past finding out and sets others in their stead. Dan. 2:21.
25 Therefore He takes knowledge of their works, and He overturns them in the night, so that they are crushed and destroyed.
26 God strikes them down as wicked men in the open sight of beholders,
27 Because they turned aside from Him and would not consider or show regard for any of His ways, I Sam. 15:11.
28 So that they caused the cry of the poor to come to Him, and He heard the cry of the afflicted. Exod. 22:23; James 5:4.
29 When He gives quietness (peace and security from oppression), who then can condemn? When He hides His face withdrawing His favor and help, who then can behold Him and make Him gracious, whether it be a nation or a man by himself?--
30 That the godless man may not reign, that there be no one to ensnare the people.
31 For has anyone said to God, I have borne my chastisement; I will not offend any more;
32 Teach me what I do not see in regard to how I have sinned; if I have done iniquity, I will do it no more?
33 Should God's recompense for your sins be as you will it, when you refuse to accept it? For you must do the choosing, and not I; therefore say what is your truthful conclusion.
34 Men of understanding will tell me, indeed, every wise man who hears me will agree,
35 That Job speaks without knowledge, and his words are without wisdom and insight.
36 Would that Job's afflictions be continued and he be tried to the end because of his answering like wicked men!
37 For he adds rebellion in his unsubmissive, defiant attitude toward God to his unacknowledged sin; he claps his hands in open mockery and contempt of God among us, and he multiplies his words of accusation against God.
1 Furthermore Elihu H453 EMS answered H6030 W-VQY3MS and said H559 W-VQY3MS ,
2 Hear H8085 VQI2MP my words H4405 CFP-1MS , O ye wise H2450 AMP men ; and give ear H238 VHI2MP unto me , ye that have knowledge H3045 W-VQPMP .
3 For H3588 CONJ the ear H241 NFS trieth H974 VQY3FS words H4405 NFP , as the mouth H2441 W-NMS tasteth H2938 VQY3MS meat H398 L-VQFC .
4 Let us choose H977 VQI1MP to us judgment H4941 NMS : let us know H3045 VQI1MP among H996 B-PREP-3MS ourselves what H4100 IPRO is good H2896 NMS .
5 For H3588 CONJ Job H347 EMS hath said H559 VQQ3MS , I am righteous H6663 VQQ1MS : and God H410 W-NMS hath taken away H5493 VHQ3MS my judgment H4941 CMS-1MS .
6 Should I lie H3576 VPY1MS against H5921 PREP my right H4941 CMS-1MS ? my wound H2671 CMS-1MS is incurable H605 VWPMS without H1097 ADV transgression H6588 NMS .
7 What H4310 IPRO man H1397 NMS is like Job H347 K-EMS , who drinketh up H8354 VQY3MS scorning H3933 NMS like water H4325 KD-NMP ?
8 Which goeth H732 W-VQQ3MS in company H2274 L-NFS with H5973 PREP the workers H6466 VQCMP of iniquity H205 NMS , and walketh H1980 WL-VQFC with H5973 PREP wicked H7562 NMS men H376 CMP .
9 For H3588 CONJ he hath said H559 VQQ3MS , It profiteth H5532 VQY3MS a man H1397 NMS nothing H3808 NADV that he should delight H7521 B-VQFC-3MS himself with H5973 PREP God H430 NAME-4MP .
10 Therefore H3651 L-ADV hearken H8085 VQI2MP unto me , ye men H376 CMP of understanding H3824 NMS : far be it H2486 IJEC-3FS from God H410 L-NMS , that he should do wickedness H7562 M-NMS ; and from the Almighty H7706 W-EDS , that he should commit iniquity H5766 M-NMS .
11 For H3588 CONJ the work H6467 CMS of a man H120 NMS shall he render H7999 VPY3MS unto him , and cause every man H376 NMS to find H4672 VHY3MS-3MS according to his ways H734 WK-CMS .
12 Yea H637 CONJ , surely H551 CONJ God H410 EDS will not H3808 ADV do wickedly H7561 VHY3MS , neither H3808 ADV will the Almighty H7706 W-EDS pervert H5791 VPY3MS judgment H4941 NMS .
13 Who H4310 W-IPRO hath given him a charge H6485 VQQ3MS over the earth H776 NFS-3FS ? or who H4310 W-IPRO hath disposed H7760 VQQ3MS the whole H3605 CMS-3FS world H8398 NFS ?
14 If H518 PART he set H7760 VQY3MS his heart H3820 CMS-3MS upon H413 PREP-3MS man , if he gather H622 VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS himself his spirit H7307 CMS-3MS and his breath H5397 W-CFS-3MS ;
15 All H3605 NMS flesh H1320 NMS shall perish H1478 VQY3MS together H3162 ADV , and man H120 W-NMS shall turn again H7725 VQY3MS unto H5921 PREP dust H6083 NMS .
16 If H518 W-PART now thou hast understanding H998 NFS , hear H8085 VQI2MS-3FS this H2063 DPRO-3FS : hearken H238 VHI2MS-3FS to the voice H6963 L-CMS of my words H4405 CFP-1MS .
17 Shall even H637 CONJ he that hateth H8130 VQCMS right H4941 NMS govern H2280 VQY3MS ? and wilt thou condemn H7561 VHY2MS him that is most H3524 AMS just H6662 AMS ?
18 Is it fit to say H559 VQFC to a king H4428 L-CMS , Thou art wicked H1100 NMS ? and to H413 PREP princes H5081 AMP , Ye are ungodly H7563 AMS ?
19 How much less to him that H834 RPRO accepteth H5375 VQQ3MS not H3808 ADV the persons H6440 CMP of princes H8269 NMP , nor H3808 W-NADV regardeth H5234 VPQ3MS the rich H7771 NMS more than H6440 CMP the poor H1800 JMS ? for H3588 CONJ they all H3605 CMS-3MP are the work H4639 M-CMS of his hands H3027 CFD-3MS .
20 In a moment H7281 NMS shall they die H4191 VQY3MP , and the people H5971 NMS shall be troubled H1607 VUY3MP at midnight H2676 W-CFS , and pass away H5674 W-VQY3MP : and the mighty H47 JMS shall be taken away H5493 W-VHY3MP without H3808 NADV hand H3027 B-NFS .
21 For H3588 CONJ his eyes H5869 CMD-3MS are upon H5921 PREP the ways H1870 CMD-1MS of man H376 NMS , and he seeth H7200 VQY3MS all H3605 W-CMS his goings H6806 CMP-3MS .
22 There is no H369 ADV darkness H2822 NMS , nor H369 W-NPAR shadow of death H6757 NMS , where H8033 ADV the workers H6466 VQCMP of iniquity H205 NMS may hide themselves H5641 L-VNFC .
23 For H3588 CONJ he will not H3808 NADV lay H7760 VQY3MS upon H5921 PREP man H376 NMS more H5750 ADV than right ; that he should enter H1980 L-VQFC into judgment H4941 BD-NMS with H413 PREP God H410 EDS .
24 He shall break in pieces H7489 VQY3MS mighty men H3524 AMP without H3808 NADV number H2714 NMS , and set H5975 W-VHY3MS others H312 AMP in their stead H8478 PREP-3MP .
25 Therefore H3651 L-ADV he knoweth H5234 VHY3MS their works H4566 CMP-3MP , and he overturneth H2015 W-VQQ3MS them in the night H3915 GMS , so that they are destroyed H1792 W-VHQ3MP .
26 He striketh H5606 VQQ3MS-3MP them as H8478 PREP wicked men H7563 AMP in the open H4725 B-CMS sight H7200 VQPMP of others ;
27 Because H3651 ADV they turned back H5493 VQQ3MP from M-ADV-3MS him , and would not H3808 NADV consider H7919 VHQ3MP any H3605 W-CMS of his ways H1870 CMP-3MS :
28 So that they cause the cry H6818 CFS of the poor H1800 CMS to come H935 L-VHFC unto H5921 PREP-3MS him , and he heareth H8085 VQY3MS the cry H6818 W-CFS of the afflicted H6041 AMP .
29 When he H1931 W-PPRO-3MS giveth quietness H8252 VHY3MS , who H4310 W-IPRO then can make trouble H7561 VHY3MS ? and when he hideth H5641 W-VHI3MS his face H6440 NMP , who H4310 W-IPRO then can behold H7789 VQY3MS-3MS him ? whether it be done against H5921 W-PREP a nation H1471 NMS , or against H5921 W-PREP a man H120 NMS only H3162 ADV :
30 That the hypocrite H120 NMS reign not H4427 M-VQFC , lest the people H5971 NMS be ensnared H4170 M-CMP .
31 Surely it is meet H3588 CONJ to be said H559 VQQ3MS unto H413 PREP God H410 EDS , I have borne H5375 VQQ1MS chastisement , I will not H3808 NADV offend H2254 VQY1MS any more :
32 That which I see H2372 VQY1MS not H1107 PREP teach H3384 VHIMS-1MS thou H859 PPRO-2MS me : if H518 PART I have done H6466 VQQ1MS iniquity H5766 NMS , I will do H3254 VHY1MS no H3808 NADV more .
33 Should it be according to thy mind H5973 IM-PREP-2MS ? he will recompense H7999 VPY3MS-3FS it , whether H3588 CONJ thou refuse H3988 VQQ2MS , or whether H3588 CONJ thou H859 PPRO-2MS choose H977 VQY2MS ; and not H3808 W-NPAR I H589 PPRO-1MS : therefore speak H1696 VPI2MS what H4100 W-IGAT thou knowest H3045 VQQ2MS .
34 Let men H376 of understanding H3824 NMS tell H559 VQY3MP me , and let a wise H2450 AMS man H1397 W-NMS hearken H8085 VQPMS unto me .
35 Job H347 EMS hath spoken H1696 VPY3MS without H3808 NADV knowledge H1847 B-NFS , and his words H1697 W-CMP-3MS were without H3808 NADV wisdom H7919 B-VHFC .
36 My desire H15 IJEC is that Job H347 EMS may be tried H974 VNY3MS unto H5704 PREP the end H5331 NMS because H5921 PREP of his answers H8666 NFP for wicked H205 NMS men H376 B-CMP .
37 For H3588 CONJ he addeth H3254 VHY3MS rebellion H6588 NMS unto H5921 PREP his sin H2403 CFS-3MS , he clappeth H5606 VQY3MS his hands among H996 PREP-1MP us , and multiplieth H7235 W-VHI3MS his words H561 CMP-3MS against God H410 L-NMS .
