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.

Is not GodH433 in the heightH1363 of heavenH8064? and beholdH7200 the heightH7218 of the starsH3556, how highH7311 they are! {height of the stars: Heb. head of the stars}
Also can any understandH995 the spreadingsH4666 of the cloudsH5645, or the noiseH8663 of his tabernacleH5521?
Behold even to the moonH3394, and it shinethH166 not; yea, the starsH3556 are not pureH2141 in his sightH5869.
Dost thou knowH3045 the balancingsH4657 of the cloudsH5645, the wondrous worksH4652 of him which is perfectH8549 in knowledgeH1843?
The LORDH3068 is slowH750 to angerH639, and greatH1419 in powerH3581, and will not at allH5352 acquitH5352 the wicked: the LORDH3068 hath his wayH1870 in the whirlwindH5492 and in the stormH8183, and the cloudsH6051 are the dustH80 of his feetH7272.
Behold, GodH410 is greatH7689, and we knowH3045 him not, neither can the numberH4557 of his yearsH8141 be searched outH2714.
For he maketh smallH1639 the dropsH5198 of waterH4325: they pour downH2212 rainH4306 according to the vapourH108 thereof:
Which the cloudsH7834 do dropH5140 and distilH7491 upon manH120 abundantlyH7227.
Also can any understandH995 the spreadingsH4666 of the cloudsH5645, or the noiseH8663 of his tabernacleH5521?
Behold, he spreadethH6566 his lightH216 upon it, and coverethH3680 the bottomH8328 of the seaH3220. {bottom: Heb. roots}
For by them judgethH1777 he the peopleH5971; he givethH5414 meatH400 in abundanceH4342.
With cloudsH3709 he coverethH3680 the lightH216; and commandethH6680 it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixtH6293.
The noiseH7452 thereof shewethH5046 concerning it, the cattleH4735 also concerning the vapourH5927. {the vapour: Heb. that which goeth up}
At thisH2063 also my heartH3820 tremblethH2729, and is moved outH5425 of his placeH4725.
HearH8085 attentivelyH8085 the noiseH7267 of his voiceH6963, and the soundH1899 that goeth outH3318 of his mouthH6310. {Hear…: Heb. Hear in hearing}
He directethH3474 itH8281 under the whole heavenH8064, and his lightningH216 unto the endsH3671 of the earthH776. {lightning: Heb. light} {ends: Heb. wings}
AfterH310 it a voiceH6963 roarethH7580: he thunderethH7481 with the voiceH6963 of his excellencyH1347; and he will not stayH6117 them when his voiceH6963 is heardH8085.
GodH410 thunderethH7481 marvellouslyH6381 with his voiceH6963; great thingsH1419 doethH6213 he, which we cannot comprehendH3045.
Fair weatherH2091 comethH857 out of the northH6828: with GodH433 is terribleH3372 majestyH1935. {Fair…: Heb. Gold}
Touching the AlmightyH7706, we cannot find him outH4672: he is excellentH7689 in powerH3581, and in judgmentH4941, and in plentyH7230 of justiceH6666: he will not afflictH6031.
But will GodH430 indeedH552 dwellH3427 on the earthH776? behold, the heavenH8064 and heavenH8064 of heavensH8064 cannot containH3557 thee; how much lessH637 this houseH1004 that I have buildedH1129?
When I considerH7200 thy heavensH8064, the workH4639 of thy fingersH676, the moonH3394 and the starsH3556, which thou hast ordainedH3559;
What is manH582, that thou art mindfulH2142 of him? and the sonH1121 of manH120, that thou visitestH6485 him?
It is he that sittethH3427 upon the circleH2329 of the earthH776, and the inhabitantsH3427 thereof are as grasshoppersH2284; that stretcheth outH5186 the heavensH8064 as a curtainH1852, and spreadeth them outH4969 as a tentH168 to dwell inH3427: {It is…: or, Him that}
