American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
Moreover Elihu answered and said,
Hear my words, ye wise men;And give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.
For the ear trieth words,As the palate tasteth food.
Let us choose for us that which is right:Let us know among ourselves what is good.
For Job hath said, I am righteous,And God hath taken away my right:
{Or, Should I lie against my right?}Notwithstanding my right I am accounted a liar; {Hebrew: Mine arrow.}My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.
What man is like Job,Who drinketh up scoffing like water,
Who goeth in company with the workers of iniquity,And walketh with wicked men?
For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothingThat he should {Or, consent with See Psalm 50:18}delight himself with God.
Hear my words, ye wise men;And give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.
Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer each one.
What man is like Job,Who drinketh up scoffing like water,
For Job hath said, I am righteous,And God hath taken away my right:
{Or, Should I lie against my right?}Notwithstanding my right I am accounted a liar; {Hebrew: Mine arrow.}My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.
What man is like Job,Who drinketh up scoffing like water,
Who goeth in company with the workers of iniquity,And walketh with wicked men?
For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothingThat he should {Or, consent with See Psalm 50:18}delight himself with God.
They spend their days in prosperity,And in a moment they go down to Sheol.
