| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1And Elihu answered and said: |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2“Do you think this to be just? Do you say, ‘It is my right before God,’ |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3that you ask, ‘What advantage have I? How am I better off than if I had sinned?’ |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4I will answer you and your friends with you. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Look at the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds, which are higher than you. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6If you have sinned, what do you accomplish against him? And if your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him? |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7If you are righteous, what do you give to him? Or what does he receive from your hand? |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Your wickedness concerns a man like yourself, and your righteousness a son of man. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9“Because of the multitude of oppressions people cry out; they call for help because of the arm of the mighty. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10But none says, ‘Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night, |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth and makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?’ |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12There they cry out, but he does not answer, because of the pride of evil men. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13Surely God does not hear an empty cry, nor does the Almighty regard it. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14How much less when you say that you do not see him, that the case is before him, and you are waiting for him! |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15And now, because his anger does not punish, and he does not take much note of transgression, |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16Job opens his mouth in empty talk; he multiplies words without knowledge.” |
