Young's Literal Translation
Job, Chapter 34

   1: And Elihu answereth and saith:
   2: Hear, O wise men, my words, And, O knowing ones, give ear to me.
   3: For the ear doth try words, And the palate tasteth to eat.
   4: Judgment let us choose for ourselves, Let us know among ourselves what [is] good.
   5: For Job hath said, 'I have been righteous, And God hath turned aside my right,
   6: Against my right do I lie? Mortal [is] mine arrow -- without transgression.'
   7: Who [is] a man like Job? He drinketh scoffing like water,
   8: And he hath travelled for company With workers of iniquity, So as to go with men of wickedness.
   9: 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.
