1 Elihu spake moreover, and
said,
2 Thinkest thou this to be right, that
thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God’s?
3 For thou saidst, What advantage will it
be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from
my sin?
4 I will answer thee, and thy companions
with thee.
5 Look unto the heavens, and see; and
behold the clouds which are higher than thou.
6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against
him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?
7 If thou be righteous, what givest thou
him? or what receiveth he of thine hand?
8 Thy wickedness may hurt a man as
thou art; and thy 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 saith, Where is God my
maker, who giveth songs in the night;
11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of
the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?
12 There they cry, but none giveth answer,
because of the pride of evil men.
13 Surely God will not hear vanity,
neither will the Almighty regard it.
14 Although thou sayest thou
shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust
thou in him.
15 But now, because it is not so,
he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity:
16 Therefore doth Job open his mouth in
vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.
