Job 34:28-37 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

28. So that they caused the cry of the needy to come to him, and he heard the voice of the poor.

29. For when he granteth peace, who is there that can condemn? When he hideth his countenance, who is there that can behold him, whether it regard nations, or all men?

30. Who maketh a man that is a hypocrite to reign for the sins of the people?

31. Seeing then I have spoken of God, I will not hinder thee in thy turn.

32. If I have erred, teach thou me: if I have spoken iniquity, I will add no more.

33. Doth God require it of thee, because it hath displeased thee? for thou begannest to speak, and not I: but if thou know any thing better, speak.

34. Let men of understanding speak to me, and let a wise man hearken to me.

35. But Job hath spoken foolishly, and his words sound not discipline.

36. My father, let Job be tried even to the end: cease not from the man of iniquity.

37. Because he addeth blasphemy upon his sins, let him be tied fast in the mean time amongst us: and then let him provoke God to judgment with his speeches.
