Job  Chapters 32 - 36  KJV  (King James Version)

32:1  So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
 
32:2  Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.
 
32:3  Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
 
32:4  Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he.
 
32:5  When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled.
 
32:6  And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; wherefore I was afraid, and durst not shew you mine opinion.
 
32:7  I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.
 
32:8  But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
 
32:9  Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.
 
32:10  Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion.
 
32:11  Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.
 
32:12  Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words:
 
32:13  Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.
 
32:14  Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches.
 
32:15  They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking.
 
32:16  When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and answered no more;)
 
32:17  I said, I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion.
 
32:18  For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.
 
32:19  Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.
 
32:20  I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer.
 
32:21  Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.
 
32:22  For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away.
 
33:1  Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words.
 
33:2  Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.
 
33:3  My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.
 
33:4  The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
 
33:5  If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me, stand up.
 
33:6  Behold, I am according to thy wish in God's stead: I also am formed out of the clay.
 
33:7  Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee.
 
33:8  Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words, saying,
 
33:9  I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me.
 
33:10  Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy,
 
33:11  He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths.
 
33:12  Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.
 
33:13  Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.
 
33:14  For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.
 
33:15  In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
 
33:16  Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,
 
33:17  That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
 
33:18  He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
 
33:19  He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:
 
33:20  So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat.
 
33:21  His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out.
 
33:22  Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers.
 
33:23  If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness:
 
33:24  Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.
 
33:25  His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth:
 
33:26  He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness.
 
33:27  He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;
 
33:28  He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.
 
33:29  Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man,
 
33:30  To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.
 
33:31  Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I will speak.
 
33:32  If thou hast anything to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify thee.
 
33:33  If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom.
 
34:1  Furthermore Elihu answered and said,
 
34:2  Hear my words, O ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.
 
34:3  For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat.
 
34:4  Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good.
 
34:5  For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment.
 
34:6  Should I lie against my right? my wound is incurable without transgression.
 
34:7  What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water?
 
34:8  Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men.
 
34:9  For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.
 
34:10  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.
 
34:11  For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.
 
34:12  Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.
 
34:13  Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed the whole world?
 
34:14  If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;
 
34:15  All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust.
 
34:16  If now thou hast understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words.
 
34:17  Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just?
 
34:18  Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes, Ye are ungodly?
 
34:19  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.
 
34:20  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.
 
34:21  For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings.
 
34:22  There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
 
34:23  For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should enter into judgment with God.
 
34:24  He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead.
 
34:25  Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
 
34:26  He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others;
 
34:27  Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways:
 
34:28  So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.
 
34:29  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:
 
34:30  That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared.
 
34:31  Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more:
 
34:32  That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.
 
34:33  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.
 
34:34  Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken unto me.
 
34:35  Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom.
 
34:36  My desire is that Job may be tried unto the end because of his answers for wicked men.
 
34:37  For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God.
 
35:1  Elihu spake moreover, and said,
 
35:2  Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God's?
 
35:3  For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?
 
35:4  I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.
 
35:5  Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou.
 
35:6  If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?
 
35:7  If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand?
 
35:8  Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man.
 
35:9  By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.
 
35:10  But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night;
 
35:11  Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?
 
35:12  There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men.
 
35:13  Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.
 
35:14  Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him.
 
35:15  But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity:
 
35:16  Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.
 
36:1  Elihu also proceeded, and said,
 
36:2  Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that I have yet to speak on God's behalf.
 
36:3  I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
 
36:4  For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with thee.
 
36:5  Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom.
 
36:6  He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to the poor.
 
36:7  He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted.
 
36:8  And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction;
 
36:9  Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded.
 
36:10  He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity.
 
36:11  If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
 
36:12  But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.
 
36:13  But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them.
 
36:14  They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean.
 
36:15  He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression.
 
36:16  Even so would he have removed thee out of the strait into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and that which should be set on thy table should be full of fatness.
 
36:17  But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on thee.
 
36:18  Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee.
 
36:19  Will he esteem thy riches? no, not gold, nor all the forces of strength.
 
36:20  Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.
 
36:21  Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.
 
36:22  Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?
 
36:23  Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity?
 
36:24  Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold.
 
36:25  Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off.
 
36:26  Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.
 
36:27  For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof:
 
36:28  Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly.
 
36:29  Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle?
 
36:30  Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the bottom of the sea.
 
36:31  For by them judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in abundance.
 
36:32  With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt.
 
36:33  The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapour.
