Chapter 34
Job MKJV 34:2  Hear my words, wise men; and give ear to me, you who have knowledge;
Job MKJV 34:3  For the ear tries words, as the palate tastes food.
Job MKJV 34:4  Let us choose for ourselves what is right; let us know among ourselves what is good.
Job MKJV 34:5  For Job has said, I am righteous; and God has taken away my right;
Job MKJV 34:6  should I lie against my right? My wound cannot be cured; I am without rebellion.
Job MKJV 34:7  What man is like Job, who drinks up scorning like water;
Job MKJV 34:8  who goes in company with the workers of iniquity, and walks with wicked men?
Job MKJV 34:9  For he has said, It profits a man nothing when he is accepted with God.
Job MKJV 34:10  Therefore listen to me, O man of heart; far be it from God to commit iniquity; and from the Almighty, to do wrong.
Job MKJV 34:11  For He repays man's work, and causes him to find according to his ways.
Job MKJV 34:12  Yes, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert justice.
Job MKJV 34:13  Who has given the earth as a deposit with Him? Or who has set the whole world in order?
Job MKJV 34:14  If He sets His heart on man, if He gathers to Himself his spirit and his breath,
Job MKJV 34:15  all flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again to dust.
Job MKJV 34:16  If now you have understanding, hear this; listen to the sound of my words.
Job MKJV 34:17  Shall one who hates right govern? And will you condemn Him who is just and mighty?
Job MKJV 34:18  Who says to a king, O worthless one; and to nobles, O evil one?
Job MKJV 34:19  How much less to Him who does not lift up the face of rulers, nor regard the rich before the poor? For all of them are the work of His hands.
Job MKJV 34:20  In a moment they die, and a people are shaken at midnight and pass away; and the mighty shall be taken away without a hand.
Job MKJV 34:21  For His eyes are on the ways of man, and He sees all his steps.
Job MKJV 34:22  There is no darkness, nor shadow of death to hide there the workers of iniquity.
Job MKJV 34:23  For He does not still impose on man to go before God in judgment.
Job MKJV 34:24  He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their place.
Job MKJV 34:25  Therefore He knows their works, and He overturns in the night, so that they are destroyed.
Job MKJV 34:26  He strikes them for evil deeds in the place of the watchers,
Job MKJV 34:27  because thus they turned from following Him, and they did not consider all His ways;
Job MKJV 34:28  so as to cause the cry of the poor to come to Him, for He hears the cry of the afflicted.
Job MKJV 34:29  And He gives quietness, who then can condemn? And when He hides His face, who can behold Him? And it may be against a nation and a man together;
Job MKJV 34:30  from the reigning of ungodly men, from being snares for the people.
Job MKJV 34:31  For has any said to God, I have taken away; I will not pervert?
Job MKJV 34:32  Besides what I see, You teach me; if I have done iniquity, I will do it no more.
Job MKJV 34:33  Must He repay because you rejected it? For you must choose, and not I; therefore speak what you know.
Job MKJV 34:34  Men of understanding will say to me, and a wise man who hears me will say,
Job MKJV 34:35  Job has spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom.
Job MKJV 34:36  Would that Job may be tried to the end because his answers are like men of iniquity.
Job MKJV 34:37  For he adds rebellion to his sins; he claps his hands among us, and multiplies his words against God.
