1 Furthermore Elihu answered and said, 2 Hear my words, Oh you wise men; and give ear to me, you who have knowledge. 3 For the ear examines words, as the mouth tastes meat. 4 Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good. 5 For Job has said, I am righteous: and God has taken away my judgment. 6 Should I lie against my right? My wound is incurable without transgression. 7 What man is like Job, who drinks up scorning like water? 8 Which goes in company with the workers of iniquity, and walks with wicked men. 9 For he has said, It profits a man nothing that he should delight himself with God. 10 Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity. 11 For the work of a man shall he render to him, and cause every man to find according to his ways. 12 Yes, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment. 13 He takes charge over the Earth directs the whole world. 14 If He set His Mind upon man, if He gather to Himself His spirit and His breath; 15 All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again to dust. 16 If now you have understanding, hear this: listen to the voice of my words. 17 Shall even he who hates what is right govern rightly? And will you condemn him who is most just? 18 Is it fit to say to a king, You are Belial? And to princes, you are ungodly? 19 How much less to him who accepts not the persons of princes, nor regards the rich more than the poor? For they all are the work of his hands. 20 In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand. 21 For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he sees all his goings. 22 There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves. 23 For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should enter into judgment with God. 24 He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others instead of them. 25 Therefore he knows their works, and he overturns them in the night, so that they are destroyed. 26 He strikes them as wicked men in the open sight of others; 27 Because they turned back from Him, and would not consider any of his ways: 28 So that they cause the cry of the poor to come to Him, and he hears the cry of the afflicted. 29 When he gives quietness, who then can make trouble? And when he hides his face, who then can behold Him? Whether it is done against a nation, or against a man only: 30 That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people are ensnared. 31 Suppose someone is saying to God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more: 32 That which I don't see, teach me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more. 33 Should it be according to your mind? He will recompense it, whether you refuse, or whether you choose; and not I: therefore speak what you know. 34 Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man listen to me. 35 Job has spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom. 36 My desire is that Job may be tried to his endurance because of his answers for wicked men. 37 For he adds rebellion to his sin, he claps his hands among us, and multiplies his words against God.
