Jb 34 (King James)

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.
¹⁶ If now thou hast understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words.
¹⁷ Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just?
¹⁸ Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes, Ye are ungodly?
¹⁹ How much less to him that accepteth 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 shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand.
²¹ For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings.
²² There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
²³ For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should enter into judgment with God.
²⁴ He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead.
²⁵ Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
²⁶ He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others;
²⁷ Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways:
²⁸ So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.
²⁹ When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only:
³⁰ That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared.
³¹ Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more:
³² That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.
³³ Should it be according to thy mind? he will recompense it, whether thou refuse, or whether thou choose; and not I: therefore speak what thou knowest.
³⁴ Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken unto me.
³⁵ Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom.
³⁶ My desire is that Job may be tried unto the end because of his answers for wicked men.
³⁷ For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God.

Jb 34 (Vulgate)

¹ Pronuntians itaque Eliu, etiam hæc locutus est :
² [Audite, sapientes, verba mea : et eruditi, auscultate me.
³ Auris enim verba probat, et guttur escas gustu dijudicat.
⁴ Judicium eligamus nobis, et inter nos videamus quid sit melius.
⁵ Quia dixit Job : Justus sum, et Deus subvertit judicium meum.
⁶ In judicando enim me mendacium est : violenta sagitta mea absque ullo peccato.
⁷ Quis est vir ut est Job, qui bibit subsannationem quasi aquam :
⁸ qui graditur cum operantibus iniquitatem, et ambulat cum viris impiis ?
⁹ Dixit enim : Non placebit vir Deo, etiam si cucurrerit cum eo.
¹⁰ Ideo, viri cordati, audite me : absit a Deo impietas, et ab Omnipotente iniquitas.
¹¹ Opus enim hominis reddet ei, et juxta vias singulorum restituet eis.
¹² Vere enim Deus non condemnabit frustra, nec Omnipotens subvertet judicium.
¹³ Quem constituit alium super terram ? aut quem posuit super orbem quem fabricatus est ?
¹⁴ Si direxerit ad eum cor suum, spiritum illius et flatum ad se trahet.
¹⁵ Deficiet omnis caro simul, et homo in cinerem revertetur.
¹⁶ Si habes ergo intellectum, audi quod dicitur, et ausculta vocem eloquii mei :
¹⁷ numquid qui non amat judicium sanari potest ? et quomodo tu eum qui justus est in tantum condemnas ?
¹⁸ Qui dicit regi : Apostata ; qui vocat duces impios ;
¹⁹ qui non accipit personas principum, nec cognovit tyrannum cum disceptaret contra pauperem : opus enim manuum ejus sunt universi.
²⁰ Subito morientur, et in media nocte turbabuntur populi : et pertransibunt, et auferent violentum absque manu.
²¹ Oculi enim ejus super vias hominum, et omnes gressus eorum considerat.
²² Non sunt tenebræ, et non est umbra mortis, ut abscondantur ibi qui operantur iniquitatem,
²³ neque enim ultra in hominis potestate est, ut veniat ad Deum in judicium.
²⁴ Conteret multos, et innumerabiles, et stare faciet alios pro eis.
²⁵ Novit enim opera eorum, et idcirco inducet noctem, et conterentur.
²⁶ Quasi impios percussit eos in loco videntium :
²⁷ qui quasi de industria recesserunt ab eo, et omnes vias ejus intelligere noluerunt :
²⁸ ut pervenire facerent ad eum clamorem egeni, et audiret vocem pauperum.
²⁹ Ipso enim concedente pacem, quis est qui condemnet ? ex quo absconderit vultum, quis est qui contempletur eum, et super gentes, et super omnes homines ?
³⁰ Qui regnare facit hominem hypocritam propter peccata populi.
³¹ Quia ergo ego locutus sum ad Deum, te quoque non prohibebo.
³² Si erravi, tu doce me ; si iniquitatem locutus sum, ultra non addam.
³³ Numquid a te Deus expetit eam, quia displicuit tibi ? tu enim cœpisti loqui, et non ego : quod si quid nosti melius, loquere.
³⁴ Viri intelligentes loquantur mihi, et vir sapiens audiat me.
³⁵ Job autem stulte locutus est, et verba illius non sonant disciplinam.
³⁶ Pater mi, probetur Job usque ad finem : ne desinas ab homine iniquitatis :
³⁷ quia addit super peccata sua blasphemiam, inter nos interim constringatur : et tunc ad judicium provocet sermonibus suis Deum.]
