Job 34:1-10
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 34

1Then Elihu continued and said,
2'Hear my words, you wise men, And listen to me, you who understand. 3For the ear tests words As the palate tastes food. 4Let us choose for ourselves what is right; Let us understand among ourselves what is good. 5For Job has said, ‘I am righteous, But God has taken away my right; 6 Should I lie about my right? My wound is incurable, though I am without wrongdoing.’ 7What man is like Job, Who drinks up derision like water, 8Who goes in company with the workers of injustice, And walks with wicked people? 9For he has said, ‘It is of no use to a man When he becomes friends with God.’ 10'Therefore, listen to me, you men of understanding. Far be it from God to do evil, And from the Almighty to do wrong.
King James Version

Chapter 34

1Furthermore Elihu answered and said, 2Hear my words, O ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.
3For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat.
4Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good.
5For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment.
6Should I lie against my right? my wound is incurable without transgression.
7What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water?
8Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men.
9For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God. 10Therefore 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.
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 34

1Then Elihu continued, saying:
2Hear my words, you wise ones, and listen to me, you knowledgeable ones. 3Doesn’t the ear test words as the palate tastes food? 4Let us judge for ourselves what is right; let us decide together what is good. 5For Job has declared, "I am righteous, yet God has deprived me of justice. 6Would I lie about my case? My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression." 7What man is like Job? He drinks derision like water. 8He keeps company with evildoers and walks with wicked men.
9For he has said, "A man gains nothing when he becomes God’s friend." 10Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding. It is impossible for God to do wrong, and for the Almighty to act unjustly.
New Living Translation

Chapter 34

1Then Elihu said:
2'Listen to me, you wise men. Pay attention, you who have knowledge. 3Job said, ‘The ear tests the words it hears just as the mouth distinguishes between foods.’ 4So let us discern for ourselves what is right; let us learn together what is good. 5For Job also said, ‘I am innocent, but God has taken away my rights. 6I am innocent, but they call me a liar. My suffering is incurable, though I have not sinned.’
7'Tell me, has there ever been a man like Job, with his thirst for irreverent talk? 8He chooses evil people as companions. He spends his time with wicked men. 9He has even said, ‘Why waste time trying to please God?’
10'Listen to me, you who have understanding. Everyone knows that God doesn’t sin! The Almighty can do no wrong.
English Standard Version

Chapter 34

1Then Elihu answered and said:
2"Hear my words, you wise men, and give ear to me, you who know; 3for the ear tests words as the palate tastes food. 4Let us choose what is right; let us know among ourselves what is good. 5For Job has said, ‘I am in the right, and God has taken away my right; 6in spite of my right I am counted a liar; my wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.’ 7What man is like Job, who drinks up scoffing like water, 8who travels in company with evildoers and walks with wicked men? 9For he has said, ‘It profits a man nothing that he should take delight in God.’ 10"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.
New International Version

Chapter 34

1Then Elihu said:
2"Hear my words, you wise men; listen to me, you men of learning. 3For the ear tests words as the tongue tastes food.
4Let us discern for ourselves what is right; let us learn together what is good. 5"Job says, ‘I am innocent, but God denies me justice. 6Although I am right, I am considered a liar; although I am guiltless, his arrow inflicts an incurable wound.’ 7Is there anyone like Job, who drinks scorn like water? 8He keeps company with evildoers; he associates with the wicked.
9For he says, ‘There is no profit in trying to please God.’ 10"So listen to me, you men of understanding. Far be it from God to do evil, from the Almighty to do wrong.
New King James Version

Chapter 34

1Elihu further answered and said:
2“Hear my words, you wise men; Give ear to me, you who have knowledge. 3 For the ear tests words As the palate tastes food. 4Let us choose justice for ourselves; Let us know among ourselves what is good. 5“For Job has said, ‘I am righteous, But God has taken away my justice; 6 Should I lie concerning my right? My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.’ 7What man is like Job, Who drinks scorn like water, 8Who goes in company with the workers of iniquity, And walks with wicked men? 9For he has said, ‘It profits a man nothing That he should delight in God.’ 10“Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding: Far be it from God to do wickedness, And from the Almighty to commit iniquity.
