ElihuH453 spakeH6030 moreover, and saidH559,
ThinkestH2803 thou this to be rightH4941, that thou saidstH559, My righteousnessH6664 is more than God'sH410?
For thou saidstH559, What advantageH5532 will it be unto thee? and, What profitH3276 shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sinH2403? {if…: or, by it more than by my sin}
I will answerH7725+H4405 thee, and thy companionsH7453 with thee. {answer…: Heb. return to thee words}
LookH5027 unto the heavensH8064, and seeH7200; and beholdH7789 the cloudsH7834 which are higherH1361 than thou.
If thou sinnestH2398, what doestH6466 thou against him? or if thy transgressionsH6588 be multipliedH7231, what doestH6213 thou unto him?
If thou be righteousH6663, what givestH5414 thou him? or what receivethH3947 he of thine handH3027?
Thy wickednessH7562 may hurt a manH376 as thou art; and thy righteousnessH6666 may profit the sonH1121 of manH120.
By reason of the multitudeH7230 of oppressionsH6217 they make the oppressed to cryH2199: they cry outH7768 by reason of the armH2220 of the mightyH7227.
But none saithH559, Where is GodH433 my makerH6213, who givethH5414 songsH2158 in the nightH3915;
Who teachethH502 us more than the beastsH929 of the earthH776, and maketh us wiserH2449 than the fowlsH5775 of heavenH8064?
There they cryH6817, but none giveth answerH6030, becauseH6440 of the prideH1347 of evil menH7451.
Surely GodH410 will not hearH8085 vanityH7723, neither will the AlmightyH7706 regardH7789 it.
AlthoughH637 thou sayestH559 thou shalt not seeH7789 him, yet judgmentH1779 is beforeH6440 him; therefore trustH2342 thou in him.
But now, because it is not so, he hath visitedH6485 in his angerH639; yet he knowethH3045 it not in greatH3966 extremityH6580: {he hath: that is, God hath} {he knoweth: that is, Job knoweth}
Therefore doth JobH347 openH6475 his mouthH6310 in vainH1892; he multipliethH3527 wordsH4405 withoutH1097 knowledgeH1847.
