Job 34:21-37 ▼

21 For His eyes [are] on the ways of each, || And He sees all his steps.

22 There is no darkness nor death-shade, || For workers of iniquity to be hidden there;

23 For He does not permit man anymore, || To go to God in judgment,

24 He breaks the mighty—no searching! And He appoints others in their stead.

25 Therefore He knows their works, || And He has overturned by night, || And they are bruised.

26 As wicked He has struck them, || In the place of beholders.

27 Because that against right || They have turned aside from after Him, || And have considered none of His ways,

28 To cause to come to Him || The cry of the poor, || And He hears the cry of the afflicted.

29 And He gives rest, and who makes wrong? And hides the face, and who beholds it? And in reference to a nation and to a man, || [It is] the same.

30 From the reigning of a profane man, || From the snares of a people;

31 For has any said to God: I have taken away, || I do not do corruptly,

32 Besides [that which] I see, You show me, || If I have done iniquity—I do not add?

33 Does He repay by you, that you have refused—That you choose, and not I? And what you have known, speak.

34 Let men of heart say to me, || And a wise man is listening to me:

35 Job—he does not speak with knowledge, || And his words [are] not with wisdom.

36 My Father! Let Job be tried—to victory, || Because of answers for men of iniquity,

37 For he adds to his sin, || He vomits transgression among us, || And multiplies his sayings to God.”
