¹ And Elius resumed and said, ² What is this that thou thinkest to be according to right? who art thou that thou hast said, I am righteous before the Lord? ³ I will answer thee, and thy three friends. ⁴ Look up to the sky and see; and consider the clouds, how high they are above thee. ⁵ If thou hast sinned, what wilt thou do? ⁶ and if too thou hast transgressed much, what canst thou perform? ⁷ And suppose thou art righteous, what wilt thou give him? or what shall he receive of thy hand? ⁸ Thy ungodliness may affect a man who is like to thee; or thy righteousness a son of man.

⁹ They that are oppressed of a multitude will be ready to cry out; they will call for help because of the arm of many. ¹⁰ But none said, Where is God that made me, who appoints the night-watches; ¹¹ who makes me to differ from the four-footed beasts of the earth, and from the birds of the sky? ¹² There they shall cry, and none shall hearken, even because of the insolence of wicked men. ¹³ For the Lord desires not to look on error, for he is the Almighty One.

¹⁴ He beholds them that perform lawless deeds, and he will save me: and do thou plead before him, if thou canst praise him, as it is possible even now. ¹⁵ For he is not now regarding his wrath, nor has he noticed severely any trespass. ¹⁶ Yet Job vainly opens his mouth, in ignorance he multiplies words.
