- 1Moreover Elihu answered and said,
- 2Hear my words, ye wise men; And give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.
- 3For the ear trieth words, As the palate tasteth food.
- 4Let us choose for us that which is right: Let us know among ourselves what is good.
- 5For Job hath said, I am righteous, And God hath taken away my right:
- 6Notwithstanding my right I am [supplied: accounted] a liar; My wound is incurable, [supplied: though I am] without transgression.
- 7What man is like Job, Who drinketh up scoffing like water,
- 8Who goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, And walketh with wicked men?
- 9For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing That he should delight himself with God.
- 10Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: Far be it from God, that he should do wickedness, And from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.
- 11For the work of a man will he render unto him, And cause every man to find according to his ways.
- 12Yea, of a surety, God will not do wickedly, Neither will the Almighty pervert justice.
- 13Who gave him a charge over the earth? Or who hath disposed the whole world?
- 14If he set his heart upon himself, [supplied: If] he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;
- 15All flesh shall perish together, And man shall turn again unto dust.
- 16If now [supplied: thou hast] understanding, hear this: Hearken to the voice of my words.
- 17Shall even one that hateth justice govern? And wilt thou condemn him that is righteous [supplied: and] mighty?-

- 20In a moment they die, even at midnight; The people are shaken and pass away, And the mighty are taken away without hand.
- 21For his eyes are upon the ways of a man, And he seeth all his goings.
- 22There is no darkness, nor thick gloom, Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
- 23For he needeth not further to consider a man, That he should go before God in judgment.
- 24He breaketh in pieces mighty men [supplied: in ways] past finding out, And setteth others in their stead.
- 25Therefore he taketh knowledge of their works; And he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
- 26He striketh them as wicked men In the open sight of others;
- 27Because they turned aside from following him, And would not have regard in any of his ways:
- 28So that they caused the cry of the poor to come unto him, And he heard the cry of the afflicted.
- 29When he giveth quietness, who then can condemn? And when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? Alike whether [supplied: it be done] unto a nation, or unto a man:
- 30That the godless man reign not, That there be none to ensnare the people.
- 31For hath any said unto God, I have borne [supplied: chastisement], I will not offend [supplied: any more]:
- 32That which I see not teach thou me: If I have done iniquity, I will do it no more?

- 34Men of understanding will say unto me, Yea, every wise man that heareth me:
- 35Job speaketh without knowledge, And his words are without wisdom.
- 36Would that Job were tried unto the end, Because of his answering like wicked men.
- 37For he addeth rebellion unto his sin; He clappeth his hands among us, And multiplieth his words against God.
