Bible Text (Scroll to Verse) [Copy]
1 Elihu spoke moreover, and said,
2 Think you this to be right, [that] you said, My righteousness [is] more than God's?
3 For you said, What advantage will it be to you? [and], What profit will I have, [if I be cleansed] from my sin?
4 I will answer you, and your companions with you.
5 Look to the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds [which] are higher than you.
6 If you sin, what do you against him? or [if] your transgressions be multiplied, what do you to him?
7 If you be righteous, what give you him? or what receives he of your hand?
8 Your wickedness [may hurt] a man as you [are]; and your righteousness [may profit] the son of man.
9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make [the oppressed] to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.
10 But none says, Where [is] God my maker, who gives songs in the night;
11 Who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth, and makes us wiser than the fowls of heaven?
12 There they cry, but none gives answer, because of the pride of evil men.
13 Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.
14 Although you say you will not see him, [yet] judgment [is] before him; therefore trust you in him.
15 But now, because [it is] not [so], he has visited in his anger; yet he knows [it] not in great extremity:
16 Therefore does Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplies words without knowledge.
