| 1 | Moreover Elihu answered and said: |
| 2 | Thinkest thou this to be thy right, Or sayest thou: ‘I am righteousness before God’, |
| 3 | That thou inquirest: ‘What advantage will it be unto Thee?’ And: ‘What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?’ |
| 4 | I will give thee answer, And thy companions with thee. |
| 5 | Look unto the heavens, and see; And behold the skies, which are higher than thou. |
| 6 | If thou hast sinned, what doest thou against Him? And if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto Him? |
| 7 | If thou be righteous, what givest thou Him? Or what receiveth He of thy hand? |
| 8 | Thy wickedness concerneth a man as thou art; And thy righteousness a son of man. |
| 9 | By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out; They cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty. |
| 10 | But none saith: ‘Where is God my Maker, Who giveth songs in the night; |
| 11 | Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, And maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?’ |
| 12 | There they cry, but none giveth answer, Because of the pride of evil men. |
| 13 | Surely God will not hear vanity, Neither will the Almighty regard it. |
| 14 | Yea, when thou sayest thou canst not see Him— The cause is before Him; therefore wait thou for Him. |
| 15 | And now, is it for nought that He punished in His anger? And hath He not full knowledge of arrogance? |
| 16 | But Job doth open his mouth in vanity; He multiplieth words without knowledge. |
