Job 34:1-15

1. Furthermore Elihu answered and said, 2. Hear my words, O ye wise [men]; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge. 3. For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat. 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. Which 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 unto 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 shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to [his] ways. 12. Yea, 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 set his heart upon man, [if] he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath; 15. All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust.
