The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 20: Job: The Challoner Revision
Bible. Job
33:27. He shall look upon men, and shall say: I have sinned, and indeed
I have offended, and I have not received what I have deserved.
33:28. He hath delivered his soul from going into destruction, that it
may live and see the light.
33:29. Behold, all these things God worketh three times within every
one.
33:30. That he may withdraw their souls from corruption, and enlighten
them with the light of the living.
33:31. Attend, Job, and hearken to me, and hold thy peace, whilst I
speak.
33:32. But if thou hast any thing to say, answer me, speak: for I would
have thee to appear just.
33:33. And if thou have not, hear me: hold thy peace, and I will teach
thee wisdom.
Job Chapter 34
Eliu charges Job with blasphemy: and sets forth the power and justice of
God.
34:1. And Eliu continued his discourse, and said:
34:2. Hear ye, wise men, my words, and ye learned, hearken to me:
34:3. For the ear trieth words, and the mouth discerneth meats by the
taste.
34:4. Let us choose to us judgment, and let us see among ourselves what
is the best.
34:5. For Job hath said: I am just, and God hath overthrown my judgment.
34:6. For in judging me there is a lie: my arrow is violent without any
sin.
34:7. What man is there like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water?
34:8. Who goeth in company with them that work iniquity, and walketh
with wicked men?
34:9. For he hath said: Man shall not please God, although he run with
him.
34:10. Therefore, ye men of understanding, hear me: far from God be
wickedness, and iniquity from the Almighty.
34:11. For he will render to a man his work, and according to the ways
of every one he will reward them.
34:12. For in very deed God will not condemn without cause, neither will
the Almighty pervert judgment.
34:13. What other hath he appointed over the earth? or whom hath he set
over the world which he made?
34:14. If he turn his heart to him, he shall draw his spirit and breath
unto himself.
34:15. All flesh shall perish together, and man shall return into ashes.
34:16. If then thou hast understanding, hear what is said, and hearken
to the voice of my words.
34:17. Can he be healed that loveth not judgment? and how dost thou so
far condemn him that is just?
34:18. Who saith to the king: Thou art an apostate: who calleth rulers
ungodly:
34:19. Who accepteth not the persons of princes: nor hath regarded the
tyrant, when he contended against the poor man: for all are the work of
his hands.
34:20. They shall suddenly die, and the people shall be troubled at
midnight, and they shall pass, and take away the violent without hand.
34:21. For his eyes are upon the ways of men, and he considereth all
their steps.
34:22. There is no darkness, and there is no shadow of death, where they
may be hid who work iniquity.
34:23. For it is no longer in the power of man to enter into judgment
with God.
34:24. He shall break in pieces many and innumerable, and shall make
others to stand in their stead.
