| 34:2 | Hear my words, O ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge. | Hear, O wise men, my words, And, O knowing ones, give ear to me. |

| 34:5 | For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment. | For Job hath said, `I have been righteous, And God hath turned aside my right, |
| 34:6 | Should I lie against my right? |
Against my right do I lie? Mortal `is' mine arrow -- without transgression.' |
| 34:7 | What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water? | Who `is' a man like Job? He drinketh scoffing like water, |
| 34:8 | Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men. | And he hath travelled for company With workers of iniquity, So as to go with men of wickedness. |
| 34:9 | For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God. | For he hath said, `It doth not profit a man, When he delighteth himself with God.' |
| 34:10 | Therefore hearken unto me, ye |
Therefore, O men of heart, hearken to me; Far be it from God to do wickedness, And `from' the Mighty to do perverseness: |
| 34:11 | For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways. | For the work of man he repayeth to him, And according to the path of each He doth cause him to find. |
| 34:12 | Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment. | Yea, truly, God doth not do wickedly, And the Mighty doth not pervert judgment. |
| 34:13 | Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed |
Who hath inspected for Himself the earth? And who hath placed all the habitable world? |
| 34:14 | If he set his heart |
If He doth set on him His heart, His spirit and his breath unto Him He gathereth. |
| 34:15 | All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust. | Expire doth all flesh together, And man to dust returneth. |
| 34:16 | If now thou hast understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words. | And if `there is' understanding, hear this, Give ear to the voice of my words. |

Yea, doth one hating justice govern? Or the Most Just dost thou condemn? |
| 34:18 | Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes, Ye are ungodly? | Who hath said to a king -- `Worthless,' Unto princes -- `Wicked?' |
| 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. | That hath not accepted the person of princes, Nor hath known the rich before the poor, For a work of His hands `are' all of them. |
| 34:20 | In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and |
`In' a moment they die, and at midnight Shake do people, and they pass away, And they remove the mighty without hand. |
| 34:21 | For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings. | For His eyes `are' on the ways of each, And all his steps He doth see. |
| 34:22 | There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves. | There is no darkness nor death-shade, For workers of iniquity to be hidden there; |
| 34:23 | For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should |
For He doth not suffer man any more, To go unto God in judgment, |
| 34:24 | He shall break in pieces mighty men |
He breaketh the mighty -- no searching! And He appointeth others in their stead. |
| 34:25 | Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth them in the night, so that they are |
Therefore He knoweth their works, And He hath overturned by night, And they are bruised. |
| 34:26 | He striketh them as wicked men |
As wicked He hath stricken them, In the place of beholders. |
| 34:27 | Because they turned back |
Because that against right They have turned aside from after Him, And none of His ways have considered wisely, |
| 34:28 | So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted. | To cause to come in unto Him The cry of the poor, And the cry of the afflicted He heareth. |
| 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: | And He giveth rest, and who maketh wrong? And hideth the face, and who beholdeth it? And in reference to a nation and to a man, `It is' the same. |
| 34:30 | That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared. | From the reigning of a profane man, From the snares of a people; |
| 34:31 | Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more: | For unto God hath any said: `I have taken away, I do not corruptly, |
| 34:32 | That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more. | Besides `that which' I see, shew Thou me, If iniquity I have done -- I do not add?' |
| 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. | By thee doth He recompense, That thou hast refused -- That thou dost choose, and not I? And what thou hast known, speak. |
| 34:34 | Let men |
Let men of heart say to me, And a wise man is hearkening to me. |
| 34:35 | Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom. | Job -- not with knowledge doth he speak, And his words `are' not with wisdom. |
| 34:36 | My desire is that Job may be tried unto the end because of his answers for wicked men. | My Father! let Job be tried -- unto victory, Because of answers for men of iniquity, |
| 34:37 | For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God. | For he doth add to his sin, Transgression among us he vomiteth, And multiplieth his sayings to God. |
