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.

But now it is comeH935 upon thee, and thou faintestH3811; it touchethH5060 thee, and thou art troubledH926.
ThoughH2005 he slayH6991 me, yet will I trustH3176 in him: but I will maintainH3198 mine own waysH1870 beforeH6440 him. {maintain: Heb. prove, or, argue}
As many asG3745+G1437 I loveG5368, IG1473 rebukeG1651 andG2532 chastenG3811: be zealousG2206 thereforeG3767, andG2532 repentG3340.
TerrorsH1091 are turnedH2015 upon me: they pursueH7291 my soulH5082 as the windH7307: and my welfareH3444 passeth awayH5674 as a cloudH5645. {my soul: Heb. my principal one}
And now my soulH5315 is poured outH8210 upon me; the daysH3117 of afflictionH6040 have taken holdH270 upon me.
My bonesH6106 are piercedH5365 in me in the night seasonH3915: and my sinewsH6207 take no restH7901.
By the greatH7230 forceH3581 of my disease is my garmentH3830 changedH2664: it bindeth me aboutH247 as the collarH6310 of my coatH3801.
He hath castH3384 me into the mireH2563, and I am become likeH4911 dustH6083 and ashesH665.
I cryH7768 unto thee, and thou dost not hearH6030 me: I stand upH5975, and thou regardestH995 me not.
Thou art becomeH2015 cruelH393 to me: with thy strongH6108 handH3027 thou opposestH7852 thyself against me. {become…: Heb. turned to be cruel} {thy…: Heb. the strength of thy hand}
Thou liftest me upH5375 to the windH7307; thou causest me to rideH7392 upon it, and dissolvestH4127 my substanceH8454+H7738. {substance: or, wisdom}
For I knowH3045 that thou wilt bringH7725 me to deathH4194, and to the houseH1004 appointedH4150 for all livingH2416.
Howbeit he will not stretch outH7971 his handH3027 to the graveH1164, though they cryH7769 in his destructionH6365. {grave: Heb. heap}
Did not I weepH1058 for him that was in troubleH7186+H3117? was not my soulH5315 grievedH5701 for the poorH34? {in trouble: Heb. hard of day?}
When I lookedH6960 for goodH2896, then evilH7451 cameH935 unto me: and when I waitedH3176 for lightH216, there cameH935 darknessH652.
My bowelsH4578 boiledH7570, and restedH1826 not: the daysH3117 of afflictionH6040 preventedH6923 me.
I wentH1980 mourningH6937 without the sunH2535: I stood upH6965, and I criedH7768 in the congregationH6951.
I am a brotherH251 to dragonsH8577, and a companionH7453 to owlsH1323+H3284. {owls: or, ostriches}
My skinH5785 is blackH7835 upon me, and my bonesH6106 are burnedH2787 with heatH2721.
My harpH3658 also is turned to mourningH60, and my organH5748 into the voiceH6963 of them that weepH1058.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH559 unto MosesH4872 and AaronH175, Because ye believedH539 me not, to sanctifyH6942 me in the eyesH5869 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, therefore ye shall not bringH935 this congregationH6951 into the landH776 which I have givenH5414 them.
Shall thy lovingkindnessH2617 be declaredH5608 in the graveH6913? or thy faithfulnessH530 in destructionH11?
Shall thy wondersH6382 be knownH3045 in the darkH2822? and thy righteousnessH6666 in the landH776 of forgetfulnessH5388?
But unto thee have I criedH7768, O LORDH3068; and in the morningH1242 shall my prayerH8605 preventH6923 thee.
LORDH3068, why castest thou offH2186 my soulH5315? why hidestH5641 thou thy faceH6440 from me?
I am afflictedH6041 and ready to dieH1478 from my youthH5290 up: while I sufferH5375 thy terrorsH367 I am distractedH6323.
Thy fierce wrathH2740 goeth overH5674 me; thy terrorsH1161 have cut me offH6789.
AndG2532, beholdG2400, thouG2071 shalt be dumbG4623, andG2532 notG3361 ableG1410 to speakG2980, untilG891 the dayG2250 thatG3739 these thingsG5023 shall be performedG1096, becauseG473+G3739 thou believestG4100 notG3756 myG3450 wordsG3056, whichG3748 shall be fulfilledG4137 inG1519 theirG846 seasonG2540.
How shall I give thee upH5414, EphraimH669? how shall I deliverH4042 thee, IsraelH3478? how shall I makeH5414 thee as AdmahH126? how shall I setH7760 thee as ZeboimH6636? mine heartH3820 is turnedH2015 within me, my repentingsH5150 are kindledH3648 togetherH3162.
I will not executeH6213 the fiercenessH2740 of mine angerH639, I will not returnH7725 to destroyH7843 EphraimH669: for I am GodH410, and not manH376; the Holy OneH6918 in the midstH7130 of thee: and I will not enterH935 into the cityH5892.
