1
Then Elihu
continued
and said,
2
"Hear
my words,
you wise men,
And listen
to me, you who know.
3
"For the ear
tests
words
As the palate
tastes
food.
4
"Let us choose
for
ourselves what
is right;
Let us know
among
ourselves what
is good.
5
"For Job
has said,
'
I am righteous,
But God
has taken away
my right;
6
Should I lie
concerning
my right?
My wound
is incurable,
though I am without
transgression.'
7
"What
man
is like Job,
Who
drinks
up derision
like water,
8
Who goes
in company
with the workers
of iniquity,
And walks
with wicked
men?
9
"For he has said,
'
It profits
a man
nothing
When he is pleased
with God.'
10
"Therefore,
listen
to me, you men
of understanding.
Far
be it from God
to do wickedness,
And from the Almighty
to do wrong.
11
"For He pays
a man
according to his work,
And makes him find
it according to his way.
12
"Surely,
God
will not act wickedly,
And the Almighty
will not pervert
justice.
13
"Who
gave
Him authority
over
the earth?
And who
has laid
on Him the whole
world?
14
"If
He should determine
to do so, If He should gather
to Himself His spirit
and His breath,
15
All
flesh
would perish
together,
And man
would return
to dust.
16
"But if
you have understanding,
hear
this;
Listen
to the sound
of my words.
17
"Shall one who hates
justice
rule?
And will you condemn
the righteous
mighty One,
18
Who says
to a king,
'Worthless one,'
To nobles,
'Wicked ones';
19
Who
shows
no
partiality
to princes
Nor
regards
the rich
above
the poor,
For they all
are the work
of His hands?
20
"In a moment
they die,
and at midnight
People
are shaken
and pass away,
And the mighty
are taken away
without
a hand.
21
"For His eyes
are upon the ways
of a man,
And He sees
all
his steps.
22
"There
is no
darkness
or deep shadow
Where
the workers
of iniquity
may hide
themselves.
23
"For He does not need to consider
a man
further,
That he should go
before
God
in judgment.
24
"He breaks
in pieces mighty men
without
inquiry,
And sets
others
in their place.
25
"Therefore
He knows
their works,
And He overthrows
them in the night,
And they are crushed.
26
"He strikes
them like
the wicked
In a public
place,
27
Because
they turned aside
from following
Him, And had
no
regard
for any
of His ways;
28
So that they caused
the cry
of the poor
to come
to Him, And that He might hear
the cry
of the afflicted--
29
When He keeps quiet,
who
then can condemn?
And when He hides
His face,
who
then can behold
Him, That is, in regard
to both
nation
and man?--
30
So
that godless
men
would not rule
Nor
be snares
of the people.
31
"For has anyone said
to God,
'I have borne
chastisement; I will not offend
anymore;
32
Teach
me what I do not see;
If
I have done
iniquity,
I will not do it again '?
33
"Shall He recompense
on your terms,
because
you have rejected
it? For you must choose,
and not I; Therefore declare
what
you know.
34
"Men
of understanding
will say
to
me,
And a wise
man
who hears
me,
35
'
Job
speaks
without
knowledge,
And his words
are
without
wisdom.
36
'
Job
ought
to be tried
to the limit,
Because
he answers
like wicked
men.
37
'
For he adds
rebellion
to his sin;
He claps
his hands among
us, And multiplies
his words
against God.'"
