Job 34
Book: Job
ELIHU ASSERTS GOD’S JUSTICE
6 Notwithstanding my right I am accounted a liar; My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.
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 will he render unto him, And cause every man to find according to his ways.
17 Shall even one that hateth justice govern? And wilt thou condemn him that is righteous and mighty?--
19 That respecteth not the persons of princes, Nor regardeth the rich more than the poor; For they all are the work of his hands.
20 In a moment they die, even at midnight; The people are shaken and pass away, And the mighty are taken away without hand.
25 Therefore he taketh knowledge of their works; And he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
29 When he giveth quietness, who then can condemn? And when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? Alike whether it be done unto a nation, or unto a man:
33 Shall his recompense be as thou wilt, that thou refusest it? For thou must choose, and not I: Therefore speak what thou knowest.
