Notes on this text (1)
- Same Septuagint text as Brenton, with modernised spelling.
1 And Elihu resumed and said,
1 Moreover Elihu answered,
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?
2 “Do you think this to be your right, or do you say, ‘My righteousness is more than God’s,’ 3 that you ask, ‘What advantage will it be to you? What profit will I have, more than if I had sinned?’
4 I will answer thee, And thy three friends.
4 I will answer you, and your companions with you.
5 Look up to the sky and see; And consider the clouds, how high [they are] above thee.
5 Look to the skies, and see. See the skies, which are higher than you.
6 If thou hast sinned, what wilt thou do? And if too thou hast transgressed much, what canst thou perform?
6 If you have sinned, what effect do you have against him? If your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him?
7 And suppose thou art righteous, what wilt thou give him? Or what shall he receive of thy hand?
7 If you are righteous, what do you give him? Or what does he receive from your hand?
8 Thy ungodliness [may affect] a man who is like to thee; Or thy righteousness a son of man.
8 Your wickedness may hurt a man as you are, and your righteousness may profit 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.
9 “By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out. They cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty.
10 But none said, Where is God that made me, Who appoints the night watches;
10 But no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night,
11 Who makes me to differ from the four-footed beasts of the earth, And from the birds of the sky?
11 who teaches us more than the animals of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?’
12 There they shall cry, and none shall hearken, Even because of the insolence of wicked men.
12 There they cry, but no one answers, because of the pride of evil men.
13 For the Lord desires not to look on error, For he is the Almighty One.
13 Surely God will not hear an empty cry, neither will the Almighty regard it.
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.
14 How much less when you say you don’t see him. The cause is before him, and you wait for him!
15 For he is not [now] regarding his wrath, Nor has he noticed severely any trespass.
15 But now, because he has not visited in his anger, neither does he greatly regard arrogance,
16 Yet Job vainly opens his mouth, In ignorance he multiplies words.
16 therefore Job opens his mouth with empty talk, and he multiplies words without knowledge.”
