The Webster Bible
Job, Chapter 34

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