- 1. Moreouer Elihu answered, and saide,
- 2. Heare my wordes, ye wise men, and hearken vnto me, ye that haue knowledge.
- 3. For the eare tryeth the words, as the mouth tasteth meate.
- 4. Let vs seeke iudgement among vs, and let vs knowe among our selues what is good.
- 5. For Iob hath saide, I am righteous, & God hath taken away my iudgement.
- 6. Should I lye in my right? my wound of the arrowe is grieuous without my sinne.
- 7. What man is like Iob, that drinketh scornfulnesse like water?
- 8. Which goeth in the companie of them that worke iniquitie, and walketh with wicked men?
- 9. For he hath saide, It profiteth a man nothing that he should walke with God.
- 10. Therefore hearken vnto me, ye men of wisedome, God forbid that wickednesse should be in God, and iniquitie in the Almightie.
- 11. For he will render vnto man according to his worke, and cause euery one to finde according to his way.
- 12. And certainely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almightie peruert iudgement.
- 13. Whome hath he appointed ouer the earth beside him selfe? or who hath placed the whole worlde?
- 14. If he set his heart vpon man, and gather vnto him selfe his spirit and his breath,
- 15. All flesh shal perish together, and man shal returne vnto dust.
- 16. And if thou hast vnderstanding, heare this and hearken to the voyce of my wordes.
- 17. Shal he that hateth iudgement, gouerne? & wilt thou iudge him wicked that is most iust?
- 18. Wilt thou say vnto a King, Thou art wicked? or to princes, Ye are vngodly?
- 19. How much lesse to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, & regardeth not the rich, more then the poore? for they be all the worke of his handes.
- 20. They shall die suddenly, and the people shalbe troubled at midnight, & they shall passe foorth and take away the mightie without hand.
- 21. For his eyes are vpon the wayes of man, and he seeth all his goings.
- 22. There is no darkenesse nor shadowe of death, that the workers of iniquitie might be hid therein.
- 23. For he will not lay on man so much, that he should enter into iudgement with God.
- 24. He shall breake the mightie without seeking, and shall set vp other in their stead.
- 25. Therefore shall he declare their works: he shall turne the night, & they shalbe destroyed.
- 26. He striketh them as wicked men in the places of the seers,
- 27. Because they haue turned backe from him, and would not consider all his wayes:
- 28. So that they haue caused the voyce of the poore to come vnto him, and he hath heard the cry of the afflicted.
- 29. And when he giueth quietnesse, who can make trouble? and when he hideth his face, who can beholde him, whether it be vpon nations, or vpon a man onely?
- 30. Because the hypocrite doeth reigne, and because the people are snared.
- 31. Surely it appertaineth vnto God to say, I haue pardoned, I will not destroy.
- 32. But if I see not, teach thou me: if I haue done wickedly, I will doe no more.
- 33. Wil he performe the thing through thee? for thou hast reproued it, because that thou hast chosen, & not I. now speake what thou knowest.
- 34. Let men of vnderstanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken vnto me.
- 35. Iob hath not spoken of knowledge, neyther were his wordes according to wisedome.
- 36. I desire that Iob may be tryed, vnto the ende touching the answeres for wicked men.
- 37. For he addeth rebellion vnto his sinne: he clappeth his handes among vs, and multiplieth his wordes against God.
