¹ Moreover Elihu, responded and said: - ² This, dost thou think to be right? Thou hast said - My righteousness is more than GOD'S.³ For thou dost say, How can one profit by thee? How can I benefit, more than by my sin?⁴ I, will answer thee plainly, and thy friends with thee.⁵ Look at the heavens and see, - and survey the skies - they are higher than thou.⁶ If thou sinnest, what canst thou work against him? Or, if thy transgressions be multiplied, what canst thou do unto him?⁷ If thou art righteous, what canst thou give unto him? Or what, at thy hand, can he accept?⁸ Unto a man like thyself, might thy lawlessness reach , and, unto a son of the earth-born, thy righteousness.

⁹ By reason of the multitude of oppressions, men make outcry, They cry for help, 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, beyond the bird of the heavens, giveth us wisdom?¹² There, men make outcry, and he answereth not, because of the arrogance of evil-doers.¹³ Howbeit, vanity, will GOD not hear, Yea, the Almighty, will not regard it.

¹⁴ How much less when thou sayest thou wilt not regard him! The cause, is before him, and thou must wait for him.¹⁵ But, now, because it is not so, thou sayest - His anger hath punished, and yet hath he not at all known of transgression;¹⁶ Thus, Job, vainly openeth his mouth, Without knowledge, he multiplieth words.
