I wish that Job were tried to the end, because of his answering like wicked men.

"Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness, from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.

"For his eyes are on the ways of a man. He sees all his goings.

Moreover Elihu answered,

For the ear tries words, as the palate tastes food.

Who doesn't respect the persons of princes, nor respects the rich more than the poor; for they all are the work of his hands.

all flesh would perish together, and man would turn again to dust.

Yes surely, God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert justice.

For the work of a man he will render to him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.
