Iyov 34:1-11 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

1. Furthermore Elihu answered and said,

2. Hear my words, O ye chachamim; and give ear unto me, ye that have da'as.

3. For the ozen trieth words, as the mouth tasteth food.

4. Let us choose for ourselves what is mishpat (right); let us know among ourselves what is tov.

5. For Iyov hath said, I am innocent; and El hath taken away my mishpat (right).

6. I declare the mishpat (case) against me a lie; though without peysha, my arrow wound is incurable.

7. What gever is like Iyov, who drinketh up the scorn [of his friends] like mayim?

8. Who goeth in chaverah with the po'alei aven (workers of iniquity, evildoers), and walketh with anshei resha.

9. For he hath said, It profiteth a gever nothing that he should please Elohim.

10. Therefore pay heed unto me ye anashei levav (men of understanding); far be it from El, that He should do evil, and from Shaddai, that He should do wrong.

11. For the po'al adam (work of a man) shall He repay unto him, and make every man to find according to the man's ways.
