1 # Elihu <0453> spake <06030> (8799) moreover, and said <0559> (8799),
2 Thinkest <02803> (8804) thou this to be right <04941>, that thou saidst <0559> (8804), My righteousness <06664> is more than God's <0410>?
3 For thou saidst <0559> (8799), What advantage <05532> (8799) will it be unto thee? and, What profit <03276> (8686) shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin <02403>?
4 I will answer <07725> (8686) <04405> thee, and thy companions <07453> with thee.
5 Look <05027> (8685) unto the heavens <08064>, and see <07200> (8798); and behold <07789> (8798) the clouds <07834> which are higher <01361> (8804) than thou.
6 If thou sinnest <02398> (8804), what doest <06466> (8799) thou against him? or if thy transgressions <06588> be multiplied <07231> (8804), what doest <06213> (8799) thou unto him?
7 If thou be righteous <06663> (8804), what givest <05414> (8799) thou him? or what receiveth <03947> (8799) he of thine hand <03027>?
8 Thy wickedness <07562> may hurt a man <0376> as thou art; and thy righteousness <06666> may profit the son <01121> of man <0120>.
9 # By reason of the multitude <07230> of oppressions <06217> they make the oppressed to cry <02199> (8686): they cry out <07768> (8762) by reason of the arm <02220> of the mighty <07227>.
10 But none saith <0559> (8804), Where is God <0433> my maker <06213> (8802), who giveth <05414> (8802) songs <02158> in the night <03915>;
11 Who teacheth <0502> (8764) us more than the beasts <0929> of the earth <0776>, and maketh us wiser <02449> (8762) than the fowls <05775> of heaven <08064>?
12 There they cry <06817> (8799), but none giveth answer <06030> (8799), because <06440> of the pride <01347> of evil men <07451>.
13 Surely God <0410> will not hear <08085> (8799) vanity <07723>, neither will the Almighty <07706> regard <07789> (8799) it.
14 # Although <0637> thou sayest <0559> (8799) thou shalt not see <07789> (8799) him, yet judgment <01779> is before <06440> him; therefore trust <02342> (8787) thou in him.
15 But now, because it is not so, he hath visited <06485> (8804) in his anger <0639>; yet he knoweth <03045> (8804) it not in great <03966> extremity <06580>:
16 Therefore doth Job <0347> open <06475> (8799) his mouth <06310> in vain <01892>; he multiplieth <03527> (8686) words <04405> without <01097> knowledge <01847>.
