¹ Elihu spake moreouer, and said, ² Thinkest thou this to bee right, that thou saydest, My righteousnesse is more then Gods? ³ For thou saydst, what aduantage will it bee vnto thee, and, what profite shall I haue, if I bee cleansed from my sinne? ⁴ I will answere thee, and thy companions with thee. ⁵ Looke vnto the heauens and see, and behold the clouds which are higher then thou. ⁶ If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or it thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou vnto him? ⁷ If thou be righteous, what giuest thou him? or what receiueth hee of thine hand? ⁸ Thy wickednesse may hurt a man as thou art, and thy righteousnesse may profit the sonne of man.

⁹ By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to crie: they crie out by reason of the arme of the mightie. ¹⁰ But none saith, where is God my maker, who giueth songs in the night? ¹¹ Who teacheth vs more then the beasts of the earth, and maketh vs wiser then the foules of heauen. ¹² There they crie, (but none giueth answere) because of the pride of euill men. ¹³ Surely God wil not heare vanitie, neither wil the Almightie regard it.

¹⁴ Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet iudgement is before him, therefore trust thou in him. ¹⁵ But now because it is not so, hee hath visited in his anger, yet he knoweth it not in great extremitie: ¹⁶ Therefore doeth Iob open his mouth in vaine: he multiplieth words without knowledge.
