1 # Furthermore Elihu <0453> answered <06030> (8799) and said <0559> (8799),
2 Hear <08085> (8798) my words <04405>, O ye wise <02450> men; and give ear <0238> (8685) unto me, ye that have knowledge <03045> (8802).
3 For the ear <0241> trieth <0974> (8799) words <04405>, as the mouth <02441> tasteth <02938> (8799) meat <0398> (8800).
4 Let us choose <0977> (8799) to us judgment <04941>: let us know <03045> (8799) among ourselves what is good <02896>.
5 For Job <0347> hath said <0559> (8804), I am righteous <06663> (8804): and God <0410> hath taken away <05493> (8689) my judgment <04941>.
6 Should I lie <03576> (8762) against my right <04941>? my wound <02671> is incurable <0605> (8803) without transgression <06588>.
7 What man <01397> is like Job <0347>, who drinketh up <08354> (8799) scorning <03933> like water <04325>?
8 Which goeth <0732> (8804) in company <02274> with the workers <06466> (8802) of iniquity <0205>, and walketh <03212> (8800) with wicked <07562> men <0582>.
9 For he hath said <0559> (8804), It profiteth <05532> (8799) a man <01397> nothing that he should delight <07521> (8800) himself with God <0430>.
10 # Therefore hearken <08085> (8798) unto me, ye men <0582> of understanding <03824>: far be it <02486> from God <0410>, that he should do wickedness <07562>; and from the Almighty <07706>, that he should commit iniquity <05766>.
11 For the work <06467> of a man <0120> shall he render <07999> (8762) unto him, and cause every man <0376> to find <04672> (8686) according to his ways <0734>.
12 Yea, surely <0551> God <0410> will not do wickedly <07561> (8686), neither will the Almighty <07706> pervert <05791> (8762) judgment <04941>.
13 Who hath given him a charge <06485> (8804) over the earth <0776>? or who hath disposed <07760> (8804) the whole world <08398>?
14 If he set <07760> (8799) his heart <03820> upon man, if he gather <0622> (8799) unto himself his spirit <07307> and his breath <05397>;
15 All flesh <01320> shall perish <01478> (8799) together <03162>, and man <0120> shall turn again <07725> (8799) unto dust <06083>.
16 # If now thou hast understanding <0998>, hear <08085> (8798) this: hearken <0238> (8685) to the voice <06963> of my words <04405>.
17 Shall even he that hateth <08130> (8802) right <04941> govern <02280> (8799)? and wilt thou condemn <07561> (8686) him that is most <03524> just <06662>?
18 Is it fit to say <0559> (8800) to a king <04428>, Thou art wicked <01100>? and to princes <05081>, Ye are ungodly <07563>?
19 How much less to him that accepteth <05375> (8804) not the persons <06440> of princes <08269>, nor regardeth <05234> (8765) the rich <07771> more than <06440> the poor <01800>? for they all are the work <04639> of his hands <03027>.
20 In a moment <07281> shall they die <04191> (8799), and the people <05971> shall be troubled <01607> (8792) at midnight <02676> <03915>, and pass away <05674> (8799): and the mighty <047> shall be taken away <05493> (8686) without hand <03027>.
21 For his eyes <05869> are upon the ways <01870> of man <0376>, and he seeth <07200> (8799) all his goings <06806>.
22 There is no darkness <02822>, nor shadow of death <06757>, where the workers <06466> (8802) of iniquity <0205> may hide <05641> (8736) themselves.
23 For he will not lay <07760> (8799) upon man <0376> more than right; that he should enter <01980> (8800) into judgment <04941> with God <0410>.
24 He shall break in pieces <07489> (8799) mighty men <03524> without number <02714>, and set <05975> (8686) others <0312> in their stead.
25 Therefore he knoweth <05234> (8686) their works <04566>, and he overturneth <02015> (8804) them in the night <03915>, so that they are destroyed <01792> (8691).
26 He striketh <05606> (8804) them as <08478> wicked men <07563> in the open <04725> sight <07200> (8802) of others;
27 Because they turned back <05493> (8804) from him <0310>, and would not consider <07919> (8689) any of his ways <01870>:
28 So that they cause the cry <06818> of the poor <01800> to come <0935> (8687) unto him, and he heareth <08085> (8799) the cry <06818> of the afflicted <06041>.
29 When he giveth quietness <08252> (8686), who then can make trouble <07561> (8686)? and when he hideth <05641> (8686) his face <06440>, who then can behold <07789> (8799) him? whether it be done against a nation <01471>, or against a man <0120> only <03162>:
30 That the hypocrite <0120> <02611> reign <04427> (8800) not, lest the people <05971> be ensnared <04170>.
31 # Surely it is meet to be said <0559> (8736) unto God <0410>, I have borne <05375> (8804) chastisement , I will not offend <02254> (8799) any more:
32 That which I see <02372> (8799) not <01107> teach <03384> (8685) thou me: if I have done <06466> (8804) iniquity <05766>, I will do <03254> (8686) no more.
33 Should it be according to thy mind? he will recompense <07999> (8762) it, whether thou refuse <03588> <03988> (8804), or whether thou choose <0977> (8799); and not I: therefore speak <01696> (8761) what thou knowest <03045> (8804) .
34 Let men <0582> of understanding <03824> tell <0559> (8799) me, and let a wise <02450> man <01397> hearken <08085> (8802) unto me.
35 Job <0347> hath spoken <01696> (8762) without knowledge <01847>, and his words <01697> were without wisdom <07919> (8687).
36 My desire <015> (8676) <01> is that Job <0347> may be tried <0974> (8735) unto the end <05331> because of his answers <08666> for wicked <0205> men <0582>.
37 For he addeth <03254> (8686) rebellion <06588> unto his sin <02403>, he clappeth <05606> (8799) his hands among us, and multiplieth <07235> (8686) his words <0561> against God <0410>.
