The Book of Job

Chapter 34 Verses 23-27

23 For he will not lay on man so much, that he

should enter into judgment with God.

24 He shall break the mighty without seeking,

and shall set up others in their stead.

25 Therefore shall he declare their works: he shall

turn the night, and they shall be destroyed.

26 He striketh them as wicked men in the places

of the seers,

27 Because they have turned back from him, and

would not consider all his ways:

The Book of Job

Chapter 34 Verses 10-12, 31-33 (a)

10 Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of wisdom,

God forbid that wickedness should be in God, and

iniquity in the Almighty.

11 For he will render unto man according to his

work, and cause everyone to find according to his

way.

12 And certainly God will not do wickedly, neither

will the Almighty pervert judgment.

31 Surely it appertaineth unto God to say, I have

pardoned, I will not destroy.

32 But if I see not, teach thou me: if I have done

wickedly, I will do no more.

33 Will he perform the thing through thee? for

thou hast reproved it, because that thou hast chosen,

and not I: now speak what thou knowest.
