1	וַיַּ֥עַן אֱלִיה֗וּ וַיֹּאמַֽר׃	And Elihu answered and said:	Then Elihu said:
2	הֲ֭זֹאת חָשַׁ֣בְתָּ לְמִשְׁפָּ֑ט אָ֝מַ֗רְתָּ צִדְקִ֥י מֵאֵֽל׃	“Do you think this to be just? Do you say, ‘It is my right before God,’	“Do you think this is just? You say, ‘I am in the right, not God.’
3	כִּֽי־ תֹ֭אמַר מַה־ יִּסְכָּן־ לָ֑ךְ מָֽה־ אֹ֝עִ֗יל מֵֽחַטָּאתִֽי׃	that you ask, ‘What advantage have I? How am I better off than if I had sinned?’	Yet you ask him, ‘What profit is it to me, and what do I gain by not sinning?’
4	אֲ֭נִי אֲשִֽׁיבְךָ֣ מִלִּ֑ין וְֽאֶת־ רֵעֶ֥יךָ עִמָּֽךְ׃	I will answer you and your friends with you.	“I would like to reply to you and to your friends with you.
5	הַבֵּ֣ט שָׁמַ֣יִם וּרְאֵ֑ה וְשׁ֥וּר שְׁ֝חָקִ֗ים גָּבְה֥וּ מִמֶּֽךָּ׃	Look at the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds, which are higher than you.	Look up at the heavens and see; gaze at the clouds so high above you.
6	אִם־ חָ֭טָאתָ מַה־ תִּפְעָל־ בּ֑וֹ וְרַבּ֥וּ פְ֝שָׁעֶ֗יךָ מַה־ תַּעֲשֶׂה־ לּֽוֹ׃	If you have sinned, what do you accomplish against him? And if your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him?	If you sin, how does that affect him? If your sins are many, what does that do to him?
7	אִם־ צָ֭דַקְתָּ מַה־ תִּתֶּן־ ל֑וֹ א֥וֹ מַה־ מִיָּדְךָ֥ יִקָּֽח׃	If you are righteous, what do you give to him? Or what does he receive from your hand?	If you are righteous, what do you give to him, or what does he receive from your hand?
8	לְאִישׁ־ כָּמ֥וֹךָ רִשְׁעֶ֑ךָ וּלְבֶן־ אָ֝דָ֗ם צִדְקָתֶֽךָ׃	Your wickedness concerns a man like yourself, and your righteousness a son of man.	Your wickedness only affects humans like yourself, and your righteousness only other people.
9	מֵ֭רֹב עֲשׁוּקִ֣ים יַזְעִ֑יקוּ יְשַׁוְּע֖וּ מִזְּר֣וֹעַ רַבִּֽים׃	“Because of the multitude of oppressions people cry out; they call for help because of the arm of the mighty.	“People cry out under a load of oppression; they plead for relief from the arm of the powerful.
10	וְֽלֹא־ אָמַ֗ר אַ֭יֵּה אֱל֣וֹהַּ עֹשָׂ֑י נֹתֵ֖ן זְמִר֣וֹת בַּלָּֽיְלָה׃	But none says, ‘Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night,	But no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night,
11	מַ֭לְּפֵנוּ מִבַּהֲמ֣וֹת אָ֑רֶץ וּמֵע֖וֹף הַשָּׁמַ֣יִם יְחַכְּמֵֽנוּ׃	who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth and makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?’	who teaches us more than he teaches the beasts of the earth and makes us wiser than the birds in the sky?’
12	שָׁ֣ם יִ֭צְעֲקוּ וְלֹ֣א יַעֲנֶ֑ה מִ֝פְּנֵ֗י גְּא֣וֹן רָעִֽים׃	There they cry out, but he does not answer, because of the pride of evil men.	He does not answer when people cry out because of the arrogance of the wicked.
13	אַךְ־ שָׁ֭וְא לֹא־ יִשְׁמַ֥ע ׀ אֵ֑ל וְ֝שַׁדַּ֗י לֹ֣א יְשׁוּרֶֽנָּה׃	Surely God does not hear an empty cry, nor does the Almighty regard it.	Indeed, God does not listen to their empty plea; the Almighty pays no attention to it.
14	אַ֣ף כִּֽי־ תֹ֭אמַר לֹ֣א תְשׁוּרֶ֑נּוּ דִּ֥ין לְ֝פָנָ֗יו וּתְח֥וֹלֵֽל לֽוֹ׃	How much less when you say that you do not see him, that the case is before him, and you are waiting for him!	How much less, then, will he listen when you say that you do not see him, that your case is before him and you must wait for him,
15	וְעַתָּ֗ה כִּי־ אַ֭יִן פָּקַ֣ד אַפּ֑וֹ וְלֹֽא־ יָדַ֖ע בַּפַּ֣שׁ מְאֹֽד׃	And now, because his anger does not punish, and he does not take much note of transgression,	and further, that his anger never punishes and he does not take the least notice of wickedness.
16	וְ֭אִיּוֹב הֶ֣בֶל יִפְצֶה־ פִּ֑יהוּ בִּבְלִי־ דַ֝֗עַת מִלִּ֥ין יַכְבִּֽר׃ פ	Job opens his mouth in empty talk; he multiplies words without knowledge.”	So Job opens his mouth with empty talk; without knowledge he multiplies words.”
