JOB 34:1-15
1Then Elihu continued: 2“Hear my words, O wise men; give ear to me, O men of learning. 3For the ear tests words as the mouth tastes food. 4Let us choose for ourselves what is right; let us learn 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, who drinks up derision like water? 8He keeps company with evildoers and walks with wicked men. 9For he has said, ‘It profits a man nothing that he should delight in God.’ 10Therefore listen to me, O men of understanding. Far be it from God to do wrong, and from the Almighty to act unjustly. 11For according to a man’s deeds He repays him; according to a man’s ways He brings consequences. 12Indeed, it is true that God does not act wickedly, and the Almighty does not pervert justice. 13Who gave Him charge over the earth? Who appointed Him over the whole world? 14If He were to set His heart to it and withdraw His Spirit and breath, 15all flesh would perish together and mankind would return to the dust.

49Remember Your word to Your servant, upon which You have given me hope. 50This is my comfort in affliction, that Your promise has given me life. 51The arrogant utterly deride me, but I do not turn from Your law. 52I remember Your judgments of old, O LORD, and in them I find comfort. 53Rage has taken hold of me because of the wicked who reject Your law. 54Your statutes are songs to me in the house of my pilgrimage. 55In the night, O LORD, I remember Your name, that I may keep Your law. 56This is my practice, for I obey Your precepts.
