¹ Moreover Eliu spoke these words:² Doth thy thought seem right to thee, that thou shouldst say: I am more just than God?³ For thou saidst: That which is right doth not please thee: or what will it profit thee if I sin?⁴ Therefore I will answer thy words, and thy friends with thee.⁵ Look up to heaven and see, and behold the sky, that it is higher than thee.⁶ If thou sin, what shalt thou hurt him? and if thy iniquities be multiplied, what shalt thou do against him?⁷ And if thou do justly, what shalt thou give him, or what shall he receive of thy hand?⁸ Thy wickedness may hurt a man that is like thee: and thy justice may help the son of man.

⁹ By reason of the multitude of oppressors they shall cry out: and shall wail for the violence of the arm of tyrants.¹⁰ And he hath not said: Where is God, who made me, who hath given songs in the night?¹¹ Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and instructeth us more than the fowls of the air.¹² There shall they cry, and he will not hear, because of the pride of evil men.¹³ God therefore will not hear in vain, and the Almighty will look into the causes of every one.

¹⁴ Yea, when thou shalt say: He considereth not: be judged before him, and expect him.¹⁵ For he doth not now bring on his fury, neither doth he revenge wickedness exceedingly.¹⁶ Therefore Job openeth his mouth in vain, and multiplieth words without knowledge.
