Furthermore ElihuH453 answeredH6030 and saidH559,
HearH8085 my wordsH4405, O ye wiseH2450 men; and give earH238 unto me, ye that have knowledgeH3045.
For the earH241 triethH974 wordsH4405, as the mouthH2441 tastethH2938 meatH398. {mouth: Heb. palate}
Let us chooseH977 to us judgmentH4941: let us knowH3045 among ourselves what is goodH2896.
For JobH347 hath saidH559, I am righteousH6663: and GodH410 hath taken awayH5493 my judgmentH4941.
Should I lieH3576 against my rightH4941? my woundH2671 is incurableH605 without transgressionH6588. {my wound: Heb. mine arrow}
What manH1397 is like JobH347, who drinketh upH8354 scorningH3933 like waterH4325?
Which goethH732 in companyH2274 with the workersH6466 of iniquityH205, and walkethH3212 with wickedH7562 menH582.
For he hath saidH559, It profitethH5532 a manH1397 nothing that he should delightH7521 himself with GodH430.
Therefore hearkenH8085 unto me, ye menH582 of understandingH3824: far be itH2486 from GodH410, that he should do wickednessH7562; and from the AlmightyH7706, that he should commit iniquityH5766. {men…: Heb. men of heart}
For the workH6467 of a manH120 shall he renderH7999 unto him, and cause every manH376 to findH4672 according to his waysH734.
Yea, surelyH551 GodH410 will not do wickedlyH7561, neither will the AlmightyH7706 pervertH5791 judgmentH4941.
Who hath given him a chargeH6485 over the earthH776? or who hath disposedH7760 the whole worldH8398? {the whole: Heb. all of it?}
If he setH7760 his heartH3820 upon man, if he gatherH622 unto himself his spiritH7307 and his breathH5397; {man: Heb. him}
All fleshH1320 shall perishH1478 togetherH3162, and manH120 shall turn againH7725 unto dustH6083.
If now thou hast understandingH998, hearH8085 this: hearkenH238 to the voiceH6963 of my wordsH4405.
Shall even he that hatethH8130 rightH4941 governH2280? and wilt thou condemnH7561 him that is mostH3524 justH6662? {govern: Heb. bind?}
Is it fit to sayH559 to a kingH4428, Thou art wickedH1100? and to princesH5081, Ye are ungodlyH7563?
How much less to him that acceptethH5375 not the personsH6440 of princesH8269, nor regardethH5234 the richH7771 more thanH6440 the poorH1800? for they all are the workH4639 of his handsH3027.
In a momentH7281 shall they dieH4191, and the peopleH5971 shall be troubledH1607 at midnightH2676+H3915, and pass awayH5674: and the mightyH47 shall be taken awayH5493 without handH3027. {the mighty…: Heb. they shall take away the mighty}
For his eyesH5869 are upon the waysH1870 of manH376, and he seethH7200 all his goingsH6806.
There is no darknessH2822, nor shadow of deathH6757, where the workersH6466 of iniquityH205 may hideH5641 themselves.
For he will not layH7760 upon manH376 more than right; that he should enterH1980 into judgmentH4941 with GodH410. {enter: Heb. go}
He shall break in piecesH7489 mighty menH3524 without numberH2714, and setH5975 othersH312 in their stead. {number: Heb. searching out}
Therefore he knowethH5234 their worksH4566, and he overturnethH2015 them in the nightH3915, so that they are destroyedH1792. {destroyed: Heb. crushed}
He strikethH5606 them asH8478 wicked menH7563 in the openH4725 sightH7200 of others; {open…: Heb. place of beholders}
Because they turned backH5493 from himH310, and would not considerH7919 any of his waysH1870: {him: Heb. after him}
So that they cause the cryH6818 of the poorH1800 to comeH935 unto him, and he hearethH8085 the cryH6818 of the afflictedH6041.
When he giveth quietnessH8252, who then can make troubleH7561? and when he hidethH5641 his faceH6440, who then can beholdH7789 him? whether it be done against a nationH1471, or against a manH120 onlyH3162:
That the hypocriteH120+H2611 reignH4427 not, lest the peopleH5971 be ensnaredH4170.
Surely it is meet to be saidH559 unto GodH410, I have borneH5375 chastisement, I will not offendH2254 any more:
That which I seeH2372 notH1107 teachH3384 thou me: if I have doneH6466 iniquityH5766, I will doH3254 no more.
Should it be according to thy mind? he will recompenseH7999 it, whether thou refuseH3588+H3988, or whether thou chooseH977; and not I: therefore speakH1696 what thou knowestH3045. {according…: Heb. from with thee?}
Let menH582 of understandingH3824 tellH559 me, and let a wiseH2450 manH1397 hearkenH8085 unto me. {of…: Heb. of heart}
JobH347 hath spokenH1696 without knowledgeH1847, and his wordsH1697 were without wisdomH7919.
My desireH15+H1 is that JobH347 may be triedH974 unto the endH5331 because of his answersH8666 for wickedH205 menH582. {My…: or, My father, let Job be tried}
For he addethH3254 rebellionH6588 unto his sinH2403, he clappethH5606 his hands among us, and multipliethH7235 his wordsH561 against GodH410.

I was set upH5258 from everlastingH5769, from the beginningH7218, or everH6924 the earthH776 was.
When there were no depthsH8415, I was brought forthH2342; when there were no fountainsH4599 aboundingH3513 with waterH4325.
Before the mountainsH2022 were settledH2883, beforeH6440 the hillsH1389 was I brought forthH2342:
