[1] Moreover Elihu answered,
[2] “Do you think this to be your right,
or do you say, ‘My righteousness is more than God’s,’
[3] that you ask, ‘What advantage will it be to you?
What profit will I have, more than if I had sinned?’
[4] I will answer you,
and your companions with you.
[5] Look to the skies, and see.
See the skies, which are higher than you.
[6] If you have sinned, what effect do you have against him?
If your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him?
[7] If you are righteous, what do you give him?
Or what does he receive from your hand?
[8] Your wickedness may hurt a man as you are,
and your righteousness may profit a son of man. [9] “By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out.
They cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty.
[10] But no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker,
who gives songs in the night,
[11] who teaches us more than the animals of the earth,
and makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?’
[12] There they cry, but no one answers,
because of the pride of evil men.
[13] Surely God will not hear an empty cry,
neither will the Almighty regard it.
[14] How much less when you say you don’t see him.
The cause is before him, and you wait for him!
[15] But now, because he has not visited in his anger,
neither does he greatly regard arrogance,
[16] therefore Job opens his mouth with empty talk,
and he multiplies words without knowledge.”

King James Version
[1] Elihu H453 spake H6030 moreover, and said, H559
[2] Thinkest H2803 thou this to be right, H4941
That thou saidst, H559 My righteousness H6664 is more than God’s? H410
[3] For H3588 thou saidst, H559 What H4100 advantage H5532 will it be unto thee?
And, What profit H3276 shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?§ H2403
[4] I will answer H7725 H4405 thee,§
And thy companions H7453 with thee.
[5] Look H5027 unto the heavens, H8064 and see; H7200
And behold H7789 the clouds H7834 which are higher H1361 than thou.
[6] If thou sinnest, H2398 what H4100 doest H6466 thou against him?
Or if thy transgressions H6588 be multiplied, H7231 what H4100 doest H6213 thou unto him?
[7] If thou be righteous, H6663 what H4100 givest H5414 thou him?
Or what receiveth H3947 he of thine hand? H3027
[8] Thy wickedness H7562 may hurt a man H376 as thou art;
And thy righteousness H6666 may profit the son H1121 of man. H120
[9] By reason of the multitude H7230 of oppressions H6217 they make the oppressed to cry: H2199
They cry out H7768 by reason of the arm H2220 of the mighty. H7227
[10] But none saith, H559 Where is God H433 my maker, H6213
Who giveth H5414 songs H2158 in the night; H3915
[11] Who teacheth H502 us more than the beasts H929 of the earth, H776
And maketh us wiser H2449 than the fowls H5775 of heaven? H8064
[12] There H8033 they cry, H6817 but none giveth answer, H6030
Because H6440 of the pride H1347 of evil men. H7451
[13] Surely God H410 will H8085 not H3808 hear H8085 vanity, H7723
Neither will the Almighty H7706 regard H7789 it.
[14] Although H637 thou sayest H559 thou shalt not see H7789 him,
Yet judgment H1779 is before H6440 him; therefore trust H2342 thou in him.
[15] But now, because it is not so, heⓘ hath visited H6485 in his anger; H639
Yet heⓘ knoweth H3045 it not in great H3966 extremity: H6580
[16] Therefore doth Job H347 open H6475 his mouth H6310 in vain; H1892
He multiplieth H3527 words H4405 without H1097 knowledge. H1847
[2] Thinkest H2803 thou this to be right, H4941
