The Book of Job

And Eliu continued his discourse, and said:

Hear ye, wise men, my words, and ye learned, hearken to me:

For the ear trieth words, and the mouth discerneth meats by the taste.

Let us choose to us judgment, and let us see among ourselves what is the best.

For Job hath said: I am just, and God hath overthrown my judgment.

For in judging me there is a lie: my arrow is violent without any sin.

What man is there like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water?

Who goeth in company with them that work iniquity, and walketh with wicked men?

Therefore, ye men of understanding, hear me: far from God be wickedness, and iniquity from the Almighty.

For he will render to a man his work, and according to the ways of every one he will reward them.

For in very deed God will not condemn without cause, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.

What other hath he appointed over the earth? or whom hath he set over the world which he made?

If he turn his heart to him, he shall draw his spirit and breath unto himself.

All flesh shall perish together, and man shall return into ashes.

If then thou hast understanding, hear what is said, and hearken to the voice of my words.

Can he be healed that loveth not judgment? and how dost thou so far condemn him that is just?
