1 And Elihu answers and says: 2 “Have you reckoned this for judgment [when] you have said, || My righteousness [is] more than God’s? 3 For you say, What does it profit You? What do I profit from my sin? 4 I return words, and your friends with you, 5 Behold attentively the heavens—and see, || And behold the clouds, || They have been higher than you. 6 If you have sinned, what do you do against Him? And your transgressions have been multiplied, || What do you do to Him? 7 If you have been righteous, || What do you give to Him? Or what does He receive from your hand? 8 For a man like yourself [is] your wickedness, || And for a son of man your righteousness. 9 Because of the multitude of oppressions || They cause to cry out, || They cry because of the arm of the mighty. 10 And none said, Where [is] God my Maker? Giving songs in the night, 11 Teaching us more than the beasts of the earth, || Indeed, He makes us wiser than the bird of the heavens. 12 There they cry, and He does not answer, || Because of the pride of evildoers. 13 Surely God does not hear vanity, || And the Mighty does not behold it. 14 Indeed, though you say you do not behold Him, || Judgment [is] before Him, and stays for Him. 15 And now, because there is not, || He has appointed His anger, || And He has not known in great extremity. 16 And Job opens his mouth [with] vanity, || He multiplies words without knowledge.”
