神決非不公義
34:1
[NASB] Then Elihu continued and said,
34:2
[NASB] "Hear my words, you wise men, And listen to me, you who know.
34:3
[NASB] "For the ear tests words As the palate tastes food.
34:4
[NASB] "Let us choose for ourselves what is right; Let us know among ourselves what is good.
34:5
[NASB] "For Job has said, 'I am righteous, But God has taken away my right;
34:6
[NASB] Should I lie concerning my right? My wound is incurable, {though I am} without transgression.'
34:7
[NASB] "What man is like Job, Who drinks up derision like water,
34:8
[NASB] Who goes in company with the workers of iniquity, And walks with wicked men?
34:9
[NASB] "For he has said, 'It profits a man nothing When he is pleased with God.'
34:10
[NASB] "Therefore, listen to me, you men of understanding. Far be it from God to do wickedness, And from the Almighty to do wrong.
34:11
[NASB] "For He pays a man according to his work, And makes him find it according to his way.
34:12
[NASB] "Surely, God will not act wickedly, And the Almighty will not pervert justice.
34:13
[NASB] "Who gave Him authority over the earth? And who has laid {on Him} the whole world?
34:14
[NASB] "If He should determine to do so, If He should gather to Himself His spirit and His breath,
34:15
[NASB] All flesh would perish together, And man would return to dust.
34:16
[NASB] "But if {you have} understanding, hear this; Listen to the sound of my words.
34:17
[NASB] "Shall one who hates justice rule? And will you condemn the righteous mighty One,
34:18
[NASB] Who says to a king, 'Worthless one,' To nobles, 'Wicked ones';
34:19
[NASB] Who shows no partiality to princes Nor regards the rich above the poor, For they all are the work of His hands?
34:20
[NASB] "In a moment they die, and at midnight People are shaken and pass away, And the mighty are taken away without a hand.
34:21
[NASB] "For His eyes are upon the ways of a man, And He sees all his steps.
34:22
[NASB] "There is no darkness or deep shadow Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
34:23
[NASB] "For He does not {need to} consider a man further, That he should go before God in judgment.
34:24
[NASB] "He breaks in pieces mighty men without inquiry, And sets others in their place.
34:25
[NASB] "Therefore He knows their works, And He overthrows {them} in the night, And they are crushed.
34:26
[NASB] "He strikes them like the wicked In a public place,
34:27
[NASB] Because they turned aside from following Him, And had no regard for any of His ways;
34:28
[NASB] So that they caused the cry of the poor to come to Him, And that He might hear the cry of the afflicted--
34:29
[NASB] When He keeps quiet, who then can condemn? And when He hides His face, who then can behold Him, That is, in regard to both nation and man?--
34:30
[NASB] So that godless men would not rule Nor be snares of the people.
34:31
[NASB] "For has anyone said to God, 'I have borne {chastisement;} I will not offend {anymore;}
34:32
[NASB] Teach me what I do not see; If I have done iniquity, I will not do it again'?
34:33
[NASB] "Shall He recompense on your terms, because you have rejected {it?} For you must choose, and not I; Therefore declare what you know.
34:34
[NASB] "Men of understanding will say to me, And a wise man who hears me,
34:35
[NASB] 'Job speaks without knowledge, And his words are without wisdom.
34:36
[NASB] 'Job ought to be tried to the limit, Because he answers like wicked men.
34:37
[NASB] 'For he adds rebellion to his sin; He claps his hands among us, And multiplies his words against God.'"
