Job 34:21-37 ▼

21 For his eyes loke vpon the wayes of man, and he seeth all his goinges.

22 There is no darkenesse nor shadowe of death that can hide the wicked doers from him.

23 For God wil not lay vpon man more then he hath sinned, that he should enter into iudgement with him.

24 He shall destroy the mightie without seeking, and shall set other in their steede.

25 Therefore shall he declare their workes: he shall turne the night, and they shalbe destroyed.

26 The vngodly doth he punishe openly,

27 Because they tourned backe from him, and would not consider all his wayes:

28 Insomuch that they haue caused the voyce of the poore to come vnto him, and now he heareth the complaint of such as are in trouble.

29 When he geueth quietnesse, who can make trouble? and when he hydeth his face, who can beholde him? whether it be vpon nations, or vpo one man onely:

30 Because the hypocrite doth raigne, because the people are snared.

31 Surely of God onely it can be saide, I haue pardoned, I wyll not destroy.

32 If I haue gone amisse, enfourme thou me: If I haue done wrong, I wyll leaue of.

33 Wyll he perfourme the thing through thee? for thou hast reproued his iudgement, thou also hast thyne owne minde, and not I: But speake on what thou knowest.

34 Let men of vnderstanding tell me, and let a wyse man hearken vnto me.

35 Iob hath not spoken of knowledge, neither were his wordes according to wysdome.

36 O father, let Iob be well tryed, because he hath aunswered for wicked men:

37 Yea aboue his sinne he doth wickedly, triumpheth among vs, and multiplieth his wordes against God.
