Job Chapter 34

Job 34

Elihu continues.. 

1 Elihu answered and said,

2 wise men will hearken to words and listen to know things:

3 Ears are to test/prove words, just as the palate (of the mouth) is to taste things to be eaten:

4 if we know the verdicts, we will choose what is good. 

5 as said by Job, (may be) a leader (el) should also justify someone who turn away from the verdicts:

6 why will a frail-person be lying about the arrow from the verdicts of the revolt (of Adam)? 

7 - why will a valiant-man like Job, drinks/imbibes ridiculous things like water?

8 - a mortal-man who walk along in a path of the company that practise wrong things will exert himself in vain.

9 it is said, a valiant-man must have taken risks, for all the mighty-leaders (Elohim) to be well pleased with him.

10 far be it, that the inner heart of mortal-man will be like that of the main leader (el) who had listened to wrong-doings and iniquities from the overpowering/burly one (shadday). 

11 all men must find a path to be safe from the deed/action of Adam:

12 because "the MIGHTY ONE over the overpowering/burly one" (El-a shadday), will certainly/surely condemn those who subvert/distort HIS verdicts. 

13 Who put you in the habitable part of the world? Who is supervising the earth?

14 The SPIRIT put breath in our heart and we were gathered together for a purpose:

15 all flesh will give up ghost altogether, and turn back into dust of the earth like Adam. 

16 hear with understanding - and hearken to the voice of my words:

17 why should there be verdicts? If a turbaned/ruling and vast person, hate a Righteous man (tsaddiyq), how will he be condemned?

18 it is said, what a Noble volunteer/Prince, is, to a King? Is What a worthless/lawless person (belial), is, to a wicked man?

19 who will a Head-person/Ruler lift up his face to, upon the activities of his hands, when the faces of the weak ones, crying for freedom are like foreigners to him?

20 in a moment, the knight/hero can die at midnight, and the hands of the people who cross over by night may be turned-off in turmoil. 

21 And all men will see with their eyes, even his way and his steps into --

22 - a shadows of death; having practised things by which he exerted himself in vain, and only to be hid in the darkness.

23 the Leader (el) should lay upon men, to walk within the VERDICTS. 

24 so immense/vast is the research that some will stand firm on them while others will do evil.

25 it is strange for workers to turn around and crush things in the night.

26 and for those who could look underneath, even the wicked, will be skeptical at this spot -

27 so that, some will decline from such way, and afterwards act intelligently; - 

28 -by going to the weak ones, and listen to their outcry, and even to the outcry of the afflicted.

29 ADAM should be in a state of resting/no-noise-zone. So, how could you be declared wrong/condemned, when you are fenced in, to hide your face altogether from external-ethnic-nation?

30 when hypocrites like Adam reign, they are like snares to the people:

31 it is said, main-leader (el) is bound to lift us up;

32 - but in addition to his iniquities, he never envisioned to habitually-act reverently.

33 - he chose to speak what he knows, and because of that, for him to still be at peace/safe was rejected. 

34 A valiant-man who has listened to the wise ones will tell a mortal-man that, it is from his own heart.

35 though Job has acted intelligently, however he has spoken on this matter from his knowledge. 

36 Job is willing to be tried to the ultimate end - and that will be a return/recurrence of an ordinary-man, who is exerting himself in vain. -

37 -like a leader (el) who has added habitual sins to the (Adamic) revolt/rebellion; he is only multiplying utterances because he is skeptical/doubtful.
