- 1. And Elihu answereth and saith: --
- 2. This hast thou reckoned for judgment: Thou hast said -- `My righteousness `is' more than God's?'
- 3. For thou sayest, `What doth it profit Thee! What do I profit from my sin?'
- 4. I return thee words, and thy friends with thee,
- 5. Behold attentively the heavens -- and see, And behold the clouds, They have been higher than thou.
- 6. If thou hast sinned, what dost thou against Him? And thy transgressions have been multiplied, What dost thou to Him?
- 7. If thou hast been righteous, What dost thou give to Him? Or what from thy hand doth He receive?
- 8. For a man like thyself `is' thy wickedness, And for a son of man thy righteousness.
- 9. Because of the multitude of oppressions They cause to cry out, They cry because of the arm of the mighty.
- 10. And none said, `Where `is' God my maker? Giving songs in the night,
- 11. Teaching us more than the beasts of the earth, Yea, than the fowl of the heavens He maketh us wiser.'
- 12. There they cry, and He doth not answer, Because of the pride of evil doers.
- 13. Surely vanity God doth not hear, And the Mighty doth not behold it.
- 14. Yea, though thou sayest thou dost not behold Him, Judgment `is' before Him, and stay for Him.
- 15. And, now, because there is not, He hath appointed His anger, And He hath not known in great extremity.
- 16. And Job `with' vanity doth open his mouth, Without knowledge words he multiplieth.
