| 1 | Furthermore Elihu answered, and said, |
| 2 | Heare my wordes, O yee wise men, and giue eare vnto me, ye that haue knowledge. |
| 3 | For the eare trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meate. |
| 4 | Let vs chuse to vs iudgement: let vs know among our selues what is good. |
| 5 | For Iob hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my iudgement. |
| 6 | Should I lye against my right? my wound is incurable without transgression. |
| 7 | What man is like Iob, who drinketh vp scorning like water? |
| 8 | Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquitie, and walketh with wicked men. |
| 9 | For hee hath said, It profiteth a man nothing, that he should delight himselfe with God. |
| 10 | Therefore hearken vnto me, ye men of vnderstanding: farre bee it from God, that he should doe wickednes, and from the Almighty, that hee should commit iniquitie. |
| 11 | For the worke of a man shall he render vnto him, and cause euery man to finde according to his wayes. |
| 12 | Yea surely God will not doe wickedly, neither will the Almighty peruert iudgement. |
| 13 | Who hath giuen him a charge ouer the earth? or who hath disposed the whole world? |
| 14 | If he set his heart vpon man, if he gather vnto himselfe his spirit and his breath; |
| 15 | All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turne againe vnto dust. |
| 16 | If now thou hast vnderstanding, heare this: hearken to the voyce of my words. |
| 17 | Shall euen he that hateth right, gouerne? and wilt thou condemne him that is most iust? |
| 18 | Is it fit to say to a King, Thou art wicked? and to Princes, Ye are vngodly? |
| 19 | How much lesse to him that accepteth not the persons of Princes, nor regardeth the rich more then the poore? for they all are the woorke of his hands. |
| 20 | In a moment shall they die, and the people shalbe troubled at midnight, and passe away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand. |
| 21 | For his eyes are vpon the wayes of man, and he seeth all his goings. |
| 22 | There is no darkenes, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquitie may hide themselues. |
| 23 | For hee will not lay vpon man more then right; that he should enter into iudgement with God. |
| 24 | He shall breake in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead. |
| 25 | Therefore hee knoweth their workes, and he ouerturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed. |
| 26 | He striketh them as wicked men, in the open sight of others: |
| 27 | Because they turned backe from him, and would not consider any of his wayes. |
| 28 | So that they cause the cry of the poore to come vnto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted. |
| 29 | When he giueth quietnesse, who then can make trouble? and when hee hideth his face, who then can beholde him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man onely: |
| 30 | That the hypocrite raigne not, lest the people be ensnared. |
| 31 | Surely it is meete to be said vnto God, I haue borne chastisement, I will not offend any more. |
| 32 | That which I see not, teach thou me; If I haue done iniquitie, I will doe no more. |
| 33 | Should it bee according to thy minde? he will recompense it, whether thou refuse, or whether thou chuse, and not I: therefore speake what thou knowest. |
| 34 | Let men of vnderstanding tell mee, and let a wise man hearken vnto mee. |
| 35 | Iob hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdome. |
| 36 | My desire is that Iob may bee tried vnto the ende, because of his answeres for wicked men. |
| 37 | For he addeth rebellion vnto his sinne, hee clappeth his handes amongst vs, and multiplieth his words against God. |
