fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData And Elihu answereth and saith: |
| 2 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData Hear, O wise men, my words, And, O knowing ones, give ear to me. |
| 3 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData For the ear doth try words, And the palate tasteth to eat. |
| 4 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData Judgment let us choose for ourselves, Let us know among ourselves what `is' good. |
| 5 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData For Job hath said, `I have been righteous, And God hath turned aside my right, |
| 6 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData Against my right do I lie? Mortal `is' mine arrow -- without transgression.' |
| 7 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData Who `is' a man like Job? He drinketh scoffing like water, |
| 8 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData And he hath travelled for company With workers of iniquity, So as to go with men of wickedness. |
| 9 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData For he hath said, `It doth not profit a man, When he delighteth himself with God.' |
| 10 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData Therefore, O men of heart, hearken to me; Far be it from God to do wickedness, And `from' the Mighty to do perverseness: |
| 11 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData For the work of man he repayeth to him, And according to the path of each He doth cause him to find. |
| 12 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData Yea, truly, God doth not do wickedly, And the Mighty doth not pervert judgment. |
| 13 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData Who hath inspected for Himself the earth? And who hath placed all the habitable world? |
| 14 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData If He doth set on him His heart, His spirit and his breath unto Him He gathereth. |
| 15 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData Expire doth all flesh together, And man to dust returneth. |
| 16 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData And if `there is' understanding, hear this, Give ear to the voice of my words. |
| 17 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData Yea, doth one hating justice govern? Or the Most Just dost thou condemn? |
| 18 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData Who hath said to a king -- `Worthless,' Unto princes -- `Wicked?' |
| 19 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData 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 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData `In' a moment they die, and at midnight Shake do people, and they pass away, And they remove the mighty without hand. |
| 21 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData For His eyes `are' on the ways of each, And all his steps He doth see. |
| 22 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData There is no darkness nor death-shade, For workers of iniquity to be hidden there; |
| 23 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData For He doth not suffer man any more, To go unto God in judgment, |
| 24 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData He breaketh the mighty -- no searching! And He appointeth others in their stead. |
| 25 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData Therefore He knoweth their works, And He hath overturned by night, And they are bruised. |
| 26 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData As wicked He hath stricken them, In the place of beholders. |
| 27 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData Because that against right They have turned aside from after Him, And none of His ways have considered wisely, |
| 28 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData To cause to come in unto Him The cry of the poor, And the cry of the afflicted He heareth. |
| 29 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData 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 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData From the reigning of a profane man, From the snares of a people; |
| 31 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData For unto God hath any said: `I have taken away, I do not corruptly, |
| 32 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData Besides `that which' I see, shew Thou me, If iniquity I have done -- I do not add?' |
| 33 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData By thee doth He recompense, That thou hast refused -- That thou dost choose, and not I? And what thou hast known, speak. |
| 34 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData Let men of heart say to me, And a wise man is hearkening to me. |
| 35 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData Job -- not with knowledge doth he speak, And his words `are' not with wisdom. |
| 36 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData My Father! let Job be tried -- unto victory, Because of answers for men of iniquity, |
| 37 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData For he doth add to his sin, Transgression among us he vomiteth, And multiplieth his sayings to God. |
