- 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.
