FURTHERMORE Elihu answered and said,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014174">2</a>. Hear my words, O ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014175">3</a>. For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014176">4</a>. Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014177">5</a>. For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014178">6</a>. Should I lie against my right?  my wound is incurable without transgression.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014179">7</a>. What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014180">8</a>. Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014181">9</a>. For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014182">10</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014183">11</a>. For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014184">12</a>. Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014185">13</a>. Who hath given him a charge over the earth?  or who hath disposed the whole world?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014186">14</a>. If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014187">15</a>. All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014188">16</a>. If now thou hast understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014189">17</a>. Shall even he that hateth right govern?  and wilt thou condemn him that is most just?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014190">18</a>. Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked?  and to princes, Ye are ungodly?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014191">19</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014192">20</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014193">21</a>. For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014194">22</a>. There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014195">23</a>. For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should enter into judgment with God.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014196">24</a>. He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014197">25</a>. Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014198">26</a>. He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014199">27</a>. Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014200">28</a>. So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014201">29</a>. 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:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014202">30</a>. That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014203">31</a>. Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014204">32</a>. That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014205">33</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014206">34</a>. Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken unto me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014207">35</a>. Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014208">36</a>. My desire is that Job may be tried unto the end because of his answers for wicked men.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014209">37</a>. For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God.</li>
