[1] Moreover Elihu answered,
[2] “Hear my words, you wise men.
Give ear to me, you who have knowledge.
[3] For the ear tries words,
as the palate tastes food.
[4] Let us choose for us that which is right.
Let us know among ourselves what is good.
[5] For Job has said, ‘I am righteous,
God has taken away my right.
[6] Notwithstanding my right I am considered a liar.
My wound is incurable, though I am without disobedience.’
[7] What man is like Job,
who drinks scorn like water,
[8] who goes in company with the workers of iniquity,
and walks with wicked men?
[9] For he has said, ‘It profits a man nothing
that he should delight himself with God.’ [10] “Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding:
far be it from God, that he should do wickedness,
from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.
[11] For the work of a man he will render to him,
and cause every man to find according to his ways.
[12] Yes surely, God will not do wickedly,
neither will the Almighty pervert justice.
[13] Who put him in charge of the earth?
Or who has appointed him over the whole world?
[14] If he set his heart on himself,
if he gathered to himself his spirit and his breath,
[15] all flesh would perish together,
and man would turn again to dust. [16] “If now you have understanding, hear this.
Listen to the voice of my words.
[17] Should even one who hates justice govern?
Will you condemn him who is righteous and mighty,
[18] who says to a king, ‘Vile!’
or to nobles, ‘Wicked!’?
[19] He doesn’t respect the persons of princes,
nor respect the rich more than the poor,
for they all are the work of his hands.
[20] In a moment they die, even at midnight.
The people are shaken and pass away.
The mighty are taken away without a hand. [21] “For his eyes are on the ways of a man.
He sees all his goings.
[22] There is no darkness, nor thick gloom,
where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
[23] For he doesn’t need to consider a man further,
that he should go before God in judgment.
[24] He breaks mighty men in pieces in ways past finding out,
and sets others in their place.
[25] Therefore he takes knowledge of their works.
He overturns them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
[26] He strikes them as wicked men
in the open sight of others;
[27] because they turned away from following him,
and wouldn’t pay attention to any of his ways,
[28] so that they caused the cry of the poor to come to him.
He heard the cry of the afflicted.
[29] When he gives quietness, who then can condemn?
When he hides his face, who then can see him?
He is over a nation or a man alike,
[30] that the godless man may not reign,
that there be no one to ensnare the people. [31] “For has any said to God,
‘I am guilty, but I will not offend any more.
[32] Teach me that which I don’t see.
If I have done iniquity, I will do it no more’?
[33] Shall his recompense be as you desire, that you refuse it?
For you must choose, and not I.
Therefore speak what you know.
[34] Men of understanding will tell me,
yes, every wise man who hears me:
[35] ‘Job speaks without knowledge.
His words are without wisdom.’
[36] I wish that Job were tried to the end,
because of his answering like wicked men.
[37] For he adds rebellion to his sin.
He claps his hands among us,
and multiplies his words against God.”
[2] “Hear my words, you wise men.
Give ear to me, you who have knowledge.
[3] For the ear tries words,

[1] Furthermore ElihuH453 answeredH6030(QalImpf) and said,H559(QalImpf) [2] HearH8085(QalImpv) my words,H4405 O ye wiseH2450 [men]; and give earH238(HiphImpv) unto me, ye that have knowledge.H3045(QalActPtc) [3] For the earH241 triethH974(QalImpf) words,H4405 as the mouthH2441 tastethH2938(QalImpf) meat.H398(QalInf) [4] Let us chooseH977(QalImpf) to us judgment:H4941 let us knowH3045(QalImpf) among ourselves what [is] good.H2896 [5] For JobH347 hath said,H559(QalPerf) I am righteous:H6663(QalPerf) and GodH410 hath taken awayH5493(HiphPerf) my judgment.H4941 [6] Should I lieH3576(PielImpf) against my right?H4941 my woundH2671 [is] incurableH605(QalPasPtc) without transgression.H6588 [7] What manH1397 [is] like Job,H347 [who] drinketh upH8354(QalImpf) scorningH3933 like water?H4325 [8] Which goethH732(QalPerf) in companyH2274 with the workersH6466(QalActPtc) of iniquity,H205 and walkethH3212(QalInf) with wickedH7562 men.H582 [9] For he hath said,H559(QalPerf) It profitethH5532(QalImpf) a manH1397 nothing that he should delightH7521(QalInf) himself with God.H430 [10] Therefore hearkenH8085(QalImpv) unto me, ye menH582 of understanding:H3824 far be itH2486 from God,H410 [that he should do] wickedness;H7562 and [from] the Almighty,H7706 [that he should commit] iniquity.H5766 [11] For the workH6467 of a manH120 shall he renderH7999(PielImpf) unto him, and cause every manH376 to findH4672(HiphImpf) according to [his] ways.H734 [12] Yea, surelyH551 GodH410 will not do wickedly,H7561(HiphImpf) neither will the AlmightyH7706 pervertH5791(PielImpf) judgment.H4941 [13] Who hath given him a chargeH6485(QalPerf) over the earth?H776 or who hath disposedH7760(QalPerf) the whole world?H8398 [14] If he setH7760(QalImpf) his heartH3820 upon man, [if] he gatherH622(QalImpf) unto himself his spiritH7307 and his breath;H5397 [15] All fleshH1320 shall perishH1478(QalImpf) together,H3162 and manH120 shall turn againH7725(QalImpf) unto dust.H6083 [16] If now [thou hast] understanding,H998 hearH8085(QalImpv) this: hearkenH238(HiphImpv) to the voiceH6963 of my words.H4405 [17] Shall even he that hatethH8130(QalActPtc) rightH4941 govern?H2280(QalImpf) and wilt thou condemnH7561(HiphImpf) him that is mostH3524 just?H6662 [18] [Is it fit] to sayH559(QalInf) to a king,H4428 [Thou art] wicked?H1100 [and] to princes,H5081 [Ye are] ungodly?H7563 [19] [How much less to him] that acceptethH5375(QalPerf) not the personsH6440 of princes,H8269 nor regardethH5234(PielPerf) the richH7771 more thanH6440 the poor?H1800 for they all [are] the workH4639 of his hands.H3027 [20] In a momentH7281 shall they die,H4191(QalImpf) and the peopleH5971 shall be troubledH1607(PualImpf) at midnight,H2676 and pass away:H5674(QalImpf) and the mightyH47 shall be taken awayH5493(HiphImpf) without hand.H3027 [21] For his eyesH5869 [are] upon the waysH1870 of man,H376 and he seethH7200(QalImpf) all his goings.H6806 [22] [There is] no darkness,H2822 nor shadow of death,H6757 where the workersH6466(QalActPtc) of iniquityH205 may hideH5641(NiphInf) themselves. [23] For he will not layH7760(QalImpf) upon manH376 more [than right]; that he should enterH1980(QalInf) into judgmentH4941 with God.H410 [24] He shall break in piecesH7489(QalImpf) mighty menH3524 without number,H2714 and setH5975(HiphImpf) othersH312 in their stead. [25] Therefore he knowethH5234(HiphImpf) their works,H4566 and he overturnethH2015(QalPerf) [them] in the night,H3915 so that they are destroyed.H1792(HithImpf) [26] He strikethH5606(QalPerf) them asH8478 wicked menH7563 in the openH4725 sightH7200(QalActPtc) of others; [27] Because they turned backH5493(QalPerf) from him,H310 and would not considerH7919(HiphPerf) any of his ways:H1870 [28] So that they cause the cryH6818 of the poorH1800 to comeH935(HiphInf) unto him, and he hearethH8085(QalImpf) the cryH6818 of the afflicted.H6041 [29] When he giveth quietness,H8252(HiphImpf) who then can make trouble?H7561(HiphImpf) and when he hidethH5641(HiphImpf) [his] face,H6440 who then can beholdH7789(QalImpf) him? whether [it be done] against a nation,H1471 or against a manH120 only:H3162 [30] That the hypocriteH120 reignH4427(QalInf) not, lest the peopleH5971 be ensnared.H4170 [31] Surely it is meet to be saidH559(NiphInf) unto God,H410 I have borneH5375(QalPerf) [chastisement], I will not offendH2254(QalImpf) [any more]: [32] [That which] I seeH2372(QalImpf) notH1107 teachH3384(HiphImpv) thou me: if I have doneH6466(QalPerf) iniquity,H5766 I will doH3254(HiphImpf) no more. [33] [Should it be] according to thy mind? he will recompenseH7999(PielImpf) it, whether thou refuse,H3588 or whether thou choose;H977(QalImpf) and not I: therefore speakH1696(PielImpv) what thou knowest.H3045(QalPerf) [34] Let menH582 of understandingH3824 tellH559(QalImpf) me, and let a wiseH2450 manH1397 hearkenH8085(QalActPtc) unto me. [35] JobH347 hath spokenH1696(PielImpf) without knowledge,H1847 and his wordsH1697 [were] without wisdom.H7919(HiphInf) [36] My desireH15(Ketiv) [is that] JobH347 may be triedH974(NiphImpf) unto the endH5331 because of [his] answersH8666 for wickedH205 men.H582 [37] For he addethH3254(HiphImpf) rebellionH6588 unto his sin,H2403 he clappethH5606(QalImpf) [his hands] among us, and multipliethH7235(HiphImpf) his wordsH561 against God.H410
