Job 34:1-11
English Standard Version
Chapter 34
1Then Elihu answered and said:
2"Hear my words, you wise men, and give ear to me, you who know;
3for the ear tests words as the palate tastes food.
4Let us choose what is right; let us know among ourselves what is good.
5For Job has said, ‘I am in the right, and God has taken away my right;
6in spite of my right I am counted a liar; my wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.’
7What man is like Job, who drinks up scoffing like water,
8who travels in company with evildoers and walks with wicked men?
9For he has said, ‘It profits a man nothing that he should take delight in God.’
10"Therefore, hear me, you men of understanding: far be it from God that he should do wickedness, and from the Almighty that he should do wrong.
11For according to the work of a man he will repay him, and according to his ways he will make it befall him.
