Job 34
Elihu Proclaims God’s Justice
1Then Elihu continued and said:
2“Hear my words, you wise men,
and give ear to me, you who know,
3 #
Job 12.11
for the ear tests words
as the palate tastes food.
4 #
1 Thess 5.21
Let us choose what is right;
let us determine among ourselves what is good.
5For Job has said, ‘I am innocent,
and God has taken away my right;
6 #
Jer 15.18; 30.12 in spite of being right I am counted a liar;
my wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.’
7 #
Job 15.16
Who is there like Job,
who drinks up scoffing like water,
8 #
Ps 50.18
who goes in company with evildoers
and walks with the wicked?
9 #
Job 21.15; 35.3 For he has said, ‘It profits one nothing
to take delight in God.’
10 #
Job 8.3
“Therefore, hear me, you who have sense;
far be it from God that he should do wickedness
and from the Almighty#34.10 Traditional rendering of Heb Shaddai that he should do wrong.
11 #
Ps 62.12; Mt 16.27; Rom 2.6; 2 Cor 5.10; Rev 22.12 For according to their deeds he will repay them,
and according to their ways he will make it befall them.
12 #
Job 8.3
Of a truth, God will not do wickedly,
and the Almighty#34.12 Traditional rendering of Heb Shaddai will not pervert justice.
13 #
Job 38.5, 6 Who gave him charge over the earth,
and who laid on him#34.13 Heb lacks on him the whole world?
14 #
Ps 104.29
If he should take back his spirit#34.14 Heb his heart his spirit to himself
and gather to himself his breath,
15 #
Gn 3.19; Isa 40.6, 7 all flesh would perish together,
and all mortals return to dust.
16“If you have understanding, hear this;
listen to what I say.
17 #
2 Sam 23.3
Shall one who hates justice govern?
Will you condemn one who is righteous and mighty,
18 #
Ex 22.28
who says to a king, ‘You scoundrel!’
and to princes, ‘You wicked men!’;
19 #
Deut 10.17; Job 31.15; Gal 2.6 who shows no partiality to nobles,
nor regards the rich more than the poor,
for they are all the work of his hands?
20 #
Ex 12.29; Job 12.19 In a moment they die;
at midnight the people are shaken and pass away,
and the mighty are taken away by no human hand.
21 #
Job 31.4
“For his eyes are upon the ways of mortals,
and he sees all their steps.
22 #
Ps 139.12; Am 9.2, 3 There is no gloom or deep darkness
where evildoers may hide themselves.
23For he has not appointed a time#34.23 Cn: Heb yet for anyone
to go before God in judgment.
24 #
Dan 2.21
He shatters the mighty without investigation
and sets others in their place.
25 #
vv 11, 20
Thus, knowing their works,
he overturns them in the night, and they are crushed.
26 #
Job 26.12
He strikes them for their wickedness
while others look on,
27 #
1 Sam 15.11; Ps 28.5; Isa 5.12 because they turned aside from following him
and had no regard for any of his ways,
28 #
Ex 22.23; Job 35.9; Jas 5.4 so that they caused the cry of the poor to come to him,
and he heard the cry of the afflicted—
29 #
1 Chr 22.9
When he is quiet, who can condemn?
When he hides his face, who can behold him?
Whether nation or person, it is the same—
30 #
v 17
so that the godless should not reign
or those who ensnare the people.
31“For has anyone said to God,
‘I have endured punishment; I will not offend any more;
32 #
Job 35.11; Ps 25.4 teach me what I do not see;
if I have done iniquity, I will do it no more’?
33Will he then pay back to suit you
because you reject it?
For you must choose and not I;
therefore declare what you know.#34.33 Meaning of Heb of 34.29–33 uncertain
34Those who have sense will say to me,
and the wise who hear me will say,
35 #
Job 35.16
‘Job speaks without knowledge;
his words are without insight.’
36 #
Job 22.15; 23.10 Would that Job were tried to the limit,
because his answers are those of the wicked.
37For he adds rebellion to his sin;
he claps his hands among us
and multiplies his words against God.”
