< Job 34 >

1 Then Elihu continued:
And he answered Elihu and he said.
2 “You [three] men who [think that you] [SAR] are very wise, hear me; listen to what I am saying, you men who [say that you] know so much.
Hear O wise [men] words my and O [those who] know give ear to me.
3 When we [SYN] hear what other people [like you] say, we [RHQ] think carefully about what they say [to determine what is good and what is bad], like we [SYN] taste food [to determine what is good].
For [the] ear words it tests and [the] palate it tastes to eat.
4 We need to decide [who is saying] what is right and to determine among ourselves what is good/best.
Justice let us choose for ourselves let us recognize between ourselves what? [is] good.
5 Job has said, ‘I am innocent, but God has refused to judge me fairly/justly.
For he has said Job I am righteous and God he has taken away right my.
6 Even though I have always done what is right, he is lying about me. Even though I have not done what is wrong, he has caused me to suffer, and I will certainly die.’
On right my will I lie? [is] incurable arrow my not transgression.
7 (Is there any person like Job, who insults others as easily as people accept a drink of water?/There is no person like Job, who insults others as easily as people accept a drink of water.) [RHQ]
Who? [is] a man like Job he drinks mockery like water.
8 He habitually associates with people who do what is evil and spends time with wicked people.
And he travels for company with doers of evil and to walk with people of wickedness.
9 He has said, ‘It is useless for people to try to please God.’
For he has said not it profits a man when is pleased he with God.
10 “So, you men who [claim that you] understand everything, listen to me! Almighty God would never consider doing anything that is wicked or wrong [DOU]!
Therefore - O people of heart listen to me far be it to God from wickedness and [the] Almighty from unrighteousness.
11 He (pays back/punishes) people for what they have done; he gives them what they deserve for the way that they have conducted their lives.
For [the] work of a person he will repay to him and according to [the] way of a person he will make find him.
12 Truly, Almighty God never does what is wicked; he always [LIT] does what is fair/just.
Also truly God not he acts wickedly and [the] Almighty not he perverts justice.
13 The authority that he has to rule everything on the earth, no one [RHQ] gave it to him; no one [RHQ] put him in control of the whole world. [He has always had that authority].
Who? did he assign on him [the] earth towards and who? did he put [the] world all of it.
14 If he would take his spirit back to himself,
If he will set to it heart his spirit his and breath his to himself he will gather.
15 everyone would die [immediately], and their corpses would soon become dirt again.
It will expire all flesh together and humankind to dust it will return.
16 “So, [Job], if [you say that you] understand everything, listen to what I am saying.
And if understanding hear! this give ear! to [the] sound of words my.
17 God could certainly not [RHQ] govern the world if he hated doing what is fair/just. So, will you condemn God, who is righteous and powerful, [saying that what he has done is wrong]?
¿ Also [one who] hates justice will he govern and or? [the] righteous [one] [the] mighty [one] will you condemn as guilty.
18 He tells [some] kings that they are worthless, and he says to [some] officials that they are wicked.
¿ To say to a king worthless person wicked [one] to noble [people].
19 He does not favor rulers [more than he favors others]; he does not favor rich people more than poor people, because he created all of them.
Who not he lifts up - [the] faces of princes and not he regards a rich person before a poor [person] for [are the] work of hands his all of them.
20 People [often] die suddenly; he strikes them at midnight and they die; he even gets rid of mighty people without the help of any humans [SYN].
A moment - they die and [the] middle of [the] night they are shaken a people so they may pass away and people may remove [the] mighty not by a hand.
21 “He sees [MTY] everything that people do; [when we walk, ] he watches every step that we take.
For eyes his [are] on [the] ways of everyone and all steps his he sees.
22 There is no gloom or darkness [DOU] that is so dark that sinners can hide [from him] in that darkness.
There not [is] darkness and there not [is] deep darkness to hide themselves there [those who] do wickedness.
23 God does not [need to] set a time when we will stand in front of him in order that he may judge us. [He can judge us whenever he wants to].
For not on a person he will appoint again to go to God in judgment.
24 He destroys mighty people without [needing to] investigate [what they have done], and he appoints others to take their places.
He breaks mighty [ones] not inquiry and he appointed others in place of them.
25 Because he [already] knows what they have done, he removes them at night and gets rid of them.
Therefore he is acquainted with deeds their and he overthrows [them] night so they may be crushed.
26 Where [many] people can see it, he strikes/punishes them because of the wicked things that they have done;
In place of wicked [people] he slaps them in a place of [those who] see.
27 he strikes them because they turned away from doing what he wanted them to do and did not pay attention to any of his commands.
That there-fore they turned aside from after him and all ways his not they considered.
28 They [mistreated] the poor people, with the result that those poor people cried out to God [for help], and he heard those afflicted people when they cried out [to him].
To cause to come to him [the] outcry of [the] poor and [the] outcry of afflicted [people] he heard.
29 But if God decides to do nothing [to punish wicked people], no one can criticize/condemn him. If a godless/wicked man rules a nation, a man who tricks/deceives the people,
And he he will keep quiet - and who? will he condemn [him] as guilty and he may hide face and who? will he observe him and over a nation and over a person alike.
30 and if [God] hides his face [with the result that he does not see that ruler or punish him], no one will be able to prevent that ruler [from doing those things].
From reigning a person godless from snares of a people.
31 “Job, have you or anyone else ever said to God, ‘I have been punished [for my sins], and I will not sin any more;
For to God ¿ has anyone said I have borne not I will act corruptly.
32 so teach/show me what [sins I have committed]; if I have done anything that is evil, I will not do it any more’?
Apart from [that which] I see O you instruct me if unrighteousness I have done not I will repeat.
33 [Job, ] you object to what God has done to you, but do you think that he will do what you want him to do? It is you who must choose [what you say to God], not I; so tell me what you are thinking about this.
¿ From with you will he repay it if you have rejected for you you will choose and not I and what? do you know speak.
34 “People who have good sense, those who are wise and who listen to what I say, will say to me,
People of heart they will say to me and a man wise [who] listens to me.
35 ‘Job is speaking ignorantly; what he says is nonsense.’
Job not with knowledge he speaks and words his not [are] with insight.
36 I think that Job should be taken to a court and (put on trial/judged), because he answers [us his friends] like wicked men would answer.
Would that! he will be tested Job until perpetuity on answers among people of wickedness.
37 To add to the [other] sins that he has committed, he is rebelling [against God]; he shows us that he does not respect God [IDM], making long speeches [saying that God has punished him unjustly].”
For he adds to sin his transgression between us he claps and he multiplies words his to God.
