1Then Elihu said:1וַיַּ֥עַן אֱלִיה֗וּ וַיֹּאמַֽר׃
2“Do you think it is right for you to claim, ‘I am righteous before God’?2הֲ֭זֹאת חָשַׁ֣בְתָּ לְמִשְׁפָּ֑ט אָ֝מַ֗רְתָּ צִדְקִ֥י מֵאֵֽל׃
3For you also ask, ‘What’s in it for me? What’s the use of living a righteous life?’3כִּֽי־ תֹ֭אמַר מַה־ יִּסְכָּן־ לָ֑ךְ מָֽה־ אֹ֝עִ֗יל מֵֽחַטָּאתִֽי׃
4“I will answer you and all your friends, too.4אֲ֭נִי אֲשִֽׁיבְךָ֣ מִלִּ֑ין וְֽאֶת־ רֵעֶ֥יךָ עִמָּֽךְ׃
5Look up into the sky, and see the clouds high above you.5הַבֵּ֣ט שָׁמַ֣יִם וּרְאֵ֑ה וְשׁ֥וּר שְׁ֝חָקִ֗ים גָּבְה֥וּ מִמֶּֽךָּ׃
6If you sin, how does that affect God? Even if you sin again and again, what effect will it have on him?6אִם־ חָ֭טָאתָ מַה־ תִּפְעָל־ בּ֑וֹ וְרַבּ֥וּ פְ֝שָׁעֶ֗יךָ מַה־ תַּעֲשֶׂה־ לּֽוֹ׃
7If you are good, is this some great gift to him? What could you possibly give him?7אִם־ צָ֭דַקְתָּ מַה־ תִּתֶּן־ ל֑וֹ א֥וֹ מַה־ מִיָּדְךָ֥ יִקָּֽח׃
8No, your sins affect only people like yourself, and your good deeds also affect only humans.8לְאִישׁ־ כָּמ֥וֹךָ רִשְׁעֶ֑ךָ וּלְבֶן־ אָ֝דָ֗ם צִדְקָתֶֽךָ׃
9“People cry out when they are oppressed. They groan beneath the power of the mighty.9מֵ֭רֹב עֲשׁוּקִ֣ים יַזְעִ֑יקוּ יְשַׁוְּע֖וּ מִזְּר֣וֹעַ רַבִּֽים׃
10Yet they don’t ask, ‘Where is God my Creator, the one who gives songs in the night?10וְֽלֹא־ אָמַ֗ר אַ֭יֵּה אֱל֣וֹהַּ עֹשָׂ֑י נֹתֵ֖ן זְמִר֣וֹת בַּלָּֽיְלָה׃
11Where is the one who makes us smarter than the animals and wiser than the birds of the sky?’11מַ֭לְּפֵנוּ מִבַּהֲמ֣וֹת אָ֑רֶץ וּמֵע֖וֹף הַשָּׁמַ֣יִם יְחַכְּמֵֽנוּ׃
12And when they cry out, God does not answer because of their pride.12שָׁ֣ם יִ֭צְעֲקוּ וְלֹ֣א יַעֲנֶ֑ה מִ֝פְּנֵ֗י גְּא֣וֹן רָעִֽים׃
13But it is wrong to say God doesn’t listen, to say the Almighty isn’t concerned.13אַךְ־ שָׁ֭וְא לֹא־ יִשְׁמַ֥ע ׀ אֵ֑ל וְ֝שַׁדַּ֗י לֹ֣א יְשׁוּרֶֽנָּה׃
14You say you can’t see him, but he will bring justice if you will only wait.14אַ֣ף כִּֽי־ תֹ֭אמַר לֹ֣א תְשׁוּרֶ֑נּוּ דִּ֥ין לְ֝פָנָ֗יו וּתְח֥וֹלֵֽל לֽוֹ׃
15You say he does not respond to sinners with anger and is not greatly concerned about wickedness.15וְעַתָּ֗ה כִּי־ אַ֭יִן פָּקַ֣ד אַפּ֑וֹ וְלֹֽא־ יָדַ֖ע בַּפַּ֣שׁ מְאֹֽד׃
16But you are talking nonsense, Job. You have spoken like a fool.”16וְ֭אִיּוֹב הֶ֣בֶל יִפְצֶה־ פִּ֑יהוּ בִּבְלִי־ דַ֝֗עַת מִלִּ֥ין יַכְבִּֽר׃ פ
