- 1. ¶ AGAIN Elihu spoke, and said,
- 2. Do you think you were justified in saying, I have been found blameless by God?
- 3. If you have said it, what advantage will it be to you? And what should I gain if I should condemn you?
- 4. I will answer you with words, you and your friends with you.
- 5. Look to the heavens, and observe the clouds which are higher than you.
- 6. If you sin, what difference does it make to him? And if your iniquities be multiplied, what does it matter to him?
- 7. If you are righteous, what do you give to him? Or what does he receive from your hand?
- 8. Your wickedness is to yourself; and your righteousness is to yourself.
- 9. ¶ Because of the multitude of oppressions men howl; and many cry out because of iniquity.
- 10. And none says, Where is God my Maker, who gives counsel in the night,
- 11. Who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth, and makes us wiser than the fowls of the air?
- 12. They cry, but he does not answer them,
- 13. Because God does not hear the empty pride of evildoers, nor does he praise it.
- 14. ¶ Although you have said, I will not praise him, plead before him and supplicate before him.
- 15. For now he does not punish with his anger; and he does not harm any soul.
- 16. Therefore Job has spoken in vain; he multiplies words without knowledge.
