1 - And Elihu answereth and saith: --

2 - This hast thou reckoned for judgment: Thou hast said--`My righteousness <FI>is<Fi> more than God's?'

3 - For thou sayest, `What doth it profit Thee! What do I profit from my sin?'

4 - I return thee words, and thy friends with thee,

5 - Behold attentively the heavens--and see, And behold the clouds, They have been higher than thou.

6 - If thou hast sinned, what dost thou against Him? And thy transgressions have been multiplied, What dost thou to Him?

7 - If thou hast been righteous, What dost thou give to Him? Or what from thy hand doth He receive?

8 - For a man like thyself <FI>is<Fi> thy wickedness, And for a son of man thy righteousness.

9 - Because of the multitude of oppressions They cause to cry out, They cry because of the arm of the mighty.

10 - And none said, `Where <FI>is<Fi> God my maker? Giving songs in the night,

11 - Teaching us more than the beasts of the earth, Yea, than the fowl of the heavens He maketh us wiser.'

12 - There they cry, and He doth not answer, Because of the pride of evil doers.

13 - Surely vanity God doth not hear, And the Mighty doth not behold it.

14 - Yea, though thou sayest thou dost not behold Him, Judgment <FI>is<Fi> before Him, and stay for Him.

15 - And, now, because there is not, He hath appointed His anger, And He hath not known in great extremity.

16 - And Job <FI>with<Fi> vanity doth open his mouth, Without knowledge words he multiplieth.
