¹ Elihu spake moreouer and saide:² Thinkest thou it right that thou sayest, I am more righteous then God?³ For thou sayest: what aduauntage wyll it be vnto thee, and what profite shall I haue of my sinne?⁴ Therefore wyll I geue aunswere vnto thee, aud to thy companions with thee.⁵ Loke vnto the heauen and beholde it, consider the cloudes which are hyer then thou.⁶ If thou hast sinned, what hast thou done against him? If thyne offences be many, what hast thou done vnto him?⁷ If thou be righteous, what geuest thou him? or what wyll he receaue of thyne hande?⁸ Thy wickednesse [may hurt] a man as thou art, and thy righteousnesse [may profite] the sonne of man.

⁹ They which are oppressed crye out vpon the multitude, yea they crye out for the power of the mightie:¹⁰ But none sayth, Where is God that made me? and that geueth vs occasion to praise him in the night?¹¹ Which teacheth vs more the the beastes of the earth, and geueth vs more wysdome then the foules of heauen.¹² If any such complaine, no man geueth aunswere, and that because of the wickednesse of proude tirauntes.¹³ For God wyll not heare vanitie, neither wyll the almightie regarde it.

¹⁴ Although thou sayest [to God] thou wylt not regarde it: yet iudgement is before him, trust thou in him.¹⁵ But now because his anger hath not visited, neither called men to accompt with great extremitie:¹⁶ Therefore doth Iob open his mouth but in vaine, & he maketh many wordes without knowledge.
