Job. Chapter 34. Elie Who asserts God's justice. Then Eliehu answered and said,

Hear my words, you wise men, and give ear to me you who know. For the ear tests words as the

palate tastes food. Let us choose what is right. Let us know among ourselves what is

good. For Job has said, I am in the right, and God has taken away my right. In spite of my right,

I am counted a liar. My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression. what man is like Job, who drinks up scoffing

like water, who travels in company with evil-doers, and walks with wicked men? For he has said,

it profits a man nothing that he should take delight in God. Therefore hear me, you men of understanding,

far be it from God that he should do wickedness and from the Almighty that he should do wrong.

For according to the work of a man, he will repay him, and according to his ways, he will make it befall him. Of a truth,

God will not do wickedly, and the Almighty will not pervert justice. Who gave him charge over

the earth, and who laid on him the whole world? If he should set his heart to it and gather to himself his spirit and his breath,

all flesh would perish together and man would return to dust.

If you have understanding, hear this, listen to what I say.

Shall one who hates justice govern? Will you condemn him, who is righteous and mighty, who says to a king, worthless one, and to nobles? Wicked man, who shows no partiality to princes, nor regards the rich more than the poor, for they are all the work of his hands.

In a moment they die, at midnight the people are shaken and pass away, and the mighty are taken

away by no human hand. For his eyes are on the ways of a man, and he sees all his steps.

There is no gloom or deep darkness where evil-doers may hide themselves,

for God has no need to consider a man further that he should go before God in judgment.

He shatters the mighty without investigation and sets others in their place. Thus knowing their

works, he overturns them in the night and they are crushed. He strikes them for their wickedness

in a place for all to see because they turned aside from following him and had no regard for any of his ways,

so that they caused the cry of the poor to come to him, and he heard the cry of the afflicted.
