- 1And Elihu answereth and saith:
- 2Hear, O wise men, my words, And, O knowing ones, give ear to me.
- 3For the ear doth try words, And the palate tasteth to eat.
- 4Judgment let us choose for ourselves, Let us know among ourselves what `is' good.
- 5For Job hath said, `I have been righteous, And God hath turned aside my right,
- 6Against my right do I lie? Mortal `is' mine arrow -- without transgression.'
- 7Who `is' a man like Job? He drinketh scoffing like water,
- 8And he hath travelled for company With workers of iniquity, So as to go with men of wickedness.
- 9For he hath said, `It doth not profit a man, When he delighteth himself with God.'
- 10Therefore, O men of heart, hearken to me; Far be it from God to do wickedness, And `from' the Mighty to do perverseness:
- 11For the work of man he repayeth to him, And according to the path of each He doth cause him to find.
- 12Yea, truly, God doth not do wickedly, And the Mighty doth not pervert judgment.
- 13Who hath inspected for Himself the earth? And who hath placed all the habitable world?
- 14If He doth set on him His heart, His spirit and his breath unto Him He gathereth.
- 15Expire doth all flesh together, And man to dust returneth.
- 16And if `there is' understanding, hear this, Give ear to the voice of my words.
- 17Yea, doth one hating justice govern? Or the Most Just dost thou condemn?

- 18Who hath said to a king -- `Worthless,' Unto princes -- `Wicked?'
- 19That hath not accepted the person of princes, Nor hath known the rich before the poor, For a work of His hands `are' all of them.

- 20`In' a moment they die, and at midnight Shake do people, and they pass away, And they remove the mighty without hand.
- 21For His eyes `are' on the ways of each, And all his steps He doth see.
- 22There is no darkness nor death-shade, For workers of iniquity to be hidden there;
- 23For He doth not suffer man any more, To go unto God in judgment,
- 24He breaketh the mighty -- no searching! And He appointeth others in their stead.
- 25Therefore He knoweth their works, And He hath overturned by night, And they are bruised.
- 26As wicked He hath stricken them, In the place of beholders.
- 27Because that against right They have turned aside from after Him, And none of His ways have considered wisely,
- 28To cause to come in unto Him The cry of the poor, And the cry of the afflicted He heareth.
- 29And He giveth rest, and who maketh wrong? And hideth the face, and who beholdeth it? And in reference to a nation and to a man, `It is' the same.
- 30From the reigning of a profane man, From the snares of a people;
- 31For unto God hath any said: `I have taken away, I do not corruptly,
- 32Besides `that which' I see, shew Thou me, If iniquity I have done -- I do not add?'

- 34Let men of heart say to me, And a wise man is hearkening to me.
- 35Job -- not with knowledge doth he speak, And his words `are' not with wisdom.
- 36My Father! let Job be tried -- unto victory, Because of answers for men of iniquity,
- 37For he doth add to his sin, Transgression among us he vomiteth, And multiplieth his sayings to God.
