Job 34

¹Moreouer Elihu answered, and saide,

²Heare my wordes, ye wise men, and hearken vnto me, ye that haue knowledge.

³For the eare tryeth the words, as the mouth tasteth meate.

⁴Let vs seeke iudgement among vs, and let vs knowe among our selues what is good.

⁵For Iob hath saide, I am righteous, and God hath taken away my iudgement.

⁶Should I lye in my right? my wound of the arrowe is grieuous without my sinne.

⁷What man is like Iob, that drinketh scornfulnesse like water?

⁸Which goeth in the companie of them that worke iniquitie, and walketh with wicked men?

⁹For he hath saide, It profiteth a man nothing that he should walke with God.

¹⁰Therefore hearken vnto me, ye men of wisedome, God forbid that wickednesse should be in God, and iniquitie in the Almightie.

¹¹For he will render vnto man according to his worke, and cause euery one to finde according to his way.

¹²And certainely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almightie peruert iudgement.

¹³Whome hath he appointed ouer the earth beside him selfe? or who hath placed the whole worlde?

¹⁴If he set his heart vpon man, and gather vnto him selfe his spirit and his breath,

¹⁵All flesh shall perish together, and man shall returne vnto dust.
