King James Version
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
Elihu spake
moreover,
and said,
And
Elihu answereth
and saith:
--
Thinkest
thou
this to
be
right,
that
thou saidst,
My righteousness is more than God's?
This hast
thou reckoned
for
judgment:
Thou
hast
said
--
`
My righteousness `
is '
more than God's? '
For thou saidst
, What advantage
will
it be
unto
thee ?
and,
What profit
shall
I
have,
if
I be
cleansed
from my sin?
For thou sayest
, `
What doth
it profit
Thee !
What do
I profit
from my sin? '
I will
answer
thee, and thy companions
with thee .
I return
thee words
, and thy friends
with thee ,
Look
unto
the heavens ,
and see ;
and behold the clouds which
are
higher than thou.
Behold
attentively
the heavens --
and see ,
And behold the clouds ,
They
have
been
higher than thou.
If thou sinnest
, what doest
thou against him? or
if
thy transgressions be
multiplied, what doest
thou unto
him?
If thou hast
sinned
, what dost
thou against Him? And
thy transgressions have
been
multiplied, What dost
thou to
Him?
If thou be
righteous, what givest
thou him? or what receiveth
he
of
thine
hand?
If thou hast
been
righteous, What dost
thou give
to
Him? Or what from
thy
hand doth
He
receive
?
Thy
wickedness
may
hurt
a man as
thou
art;
and
thy righteousness
may
profit
the
son of man.
For
a man like
thyself
`is'
thy wickedness,
And
for
a
son of man thy
righteousness
.
By
reason
of the multitude of oppressions they make
the
oppressed
to cry :
they cry out
by
reason
of the arm of the mighty.
Because
of the multitude of oppressions They cause
to cry out,
They cry because
of the arm of the mighty.
But
none saith
, Where is God my maker ,
who
giveth
songs in the night ;
And
none said
, `
Where `
is '
God my maker ?
Giving
songs in the night ,
Who
teacheth
us more than the beasts of the earth, and
maketh
us
wiser
than the fowls
of heaven?
Teaching
us more than the beasts of the earth, Yea,
than the fowl
of the
heavens
He
maketh
us
wiser.'
There they cry, but
none
giveth
answer, because of the pride of evil men
.
There they cry, and
He
doth
not
answer, Because of the pride of evil doers
.
Surely God will
not hear vanity
, neither
will
the Almighty
regard
it.
Surely vanity
God doth
not hear, And
the Mighty
doth
not
behold
it.
Although
thou sayest thou shalt
not see
him, yet
judgment is before him ;
therefore
trust
thou
in
him.
Yea,
though
thou sayest thou dost
not behold
Him, Judgment `
is '
before Him ,
and
stay
for
Him.
But
now, because it
is not so
, he hath visited
in
his anger ;
yet
he knoweth
it
not in great extremity :
And,
now, because there
is not, He hath appointed
His anger ,
And
He hath
not known
in great extremity .
Therefore
doth
Job open his mouth in
vain;
he
multiplieth
words
without knowledge.
And
Job `with'
vanity
doth
open his mouth ,
Without knowledge words
he
multiplieth
.
