Moreover
Elihu answered
,
Elihu spake
moreover

said,
"Do
you
think
this to be your
right, Or
do
you
say
, '
My righteousness is more than God's ,'
Thinkest
thou
this to be right, that
thou
saidst
, My righteousness is more than God's ?
That
you
ask
, '
What advantage will it be to
you
? What profit shall I have, more
than
if I had
sinned
? '
For
thou
saidst
, What advantage will it be unto
thee
? and,
What profit shall I have, if I be
cleansed
from
my
sin
?
I will answer you
, And your
companions with you
.
I will answer thee
, and thy
companions with thee
.
Look to
the heavens, and see .
See
the skies,
which are higher than you
.
Look unto
the heavens, and see ;
and
behold
the clouds
which are higher than thou
.
If you
have
sinned
, what effect
do
you
have
against him? If your
transgressions are
multiplied, what do
you
do
to
him?
If thou
sinnest
, what doest
thou
against him? or
if thy
transgressions be
multiplied, what doest
thou
unto
him?
If you
are
righteous, what do
you
give
him? Or what does
he receive
from
your
hand?
If thou
be
righteous, what givest
thou
him? or what receiveth
he of
thine
hand?
Your
wickedness may hurt a man as you
are
; And your
righteousness may profit a
son of man.
Thy
wickedness may hurt a man as thou
art
; and thy
righteousness may profit the
son of man.
"
By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out;
They cry for
help
by reason of the arm of the mighty.
By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make
the
oppressed
to
cry :
they cry out
by reason of the arm of the mighty.
But none says
, '
Where is God my Maker, Who gives
songs in the night ,
But none saith
, Where is God my maker, who giveth
songs in the night ;
Who teaches
us more than the animals
of the earth, And makes
us wiser than the birds
of the
sky
? '
Who teacheth
us more than the beasts
of the earth, and maketh
us wiser than the fowls
of heaven
?
There they cry, but none gives
answer, Because of the pride of evil men.
There they cry, but none giveth
answer, because of the pride of evil men.
Surely God will not hear an
empty
cry
, Neither will the Almighty regard it.
Surely God will not hear vanity
, neither will the Almighty regard it.
How
much
less
when
you
say
you
don't
see him .
The
cause
is before him ,
and
you
wait
for
him !
Although
thou
sayest
thou
shalt
not
see him ,
yet
judgment
is before him ;
therefore
trust
thou
in
him .
But now, because he
has
not visited in his anger ,
Neither
does
he greatly
regard
arrogance.
But now, because it
is
not so,
he
hath
visited in his anger ;
yet
he knoweth
it
not
in
great
extremity:
Therefore Job opens
his mouth with
empty
talk,
And
he multiplies
words without knowledge. "
Therefore doth
Job open
his mouth in
vain;
he multiplieth
words without knowledge.
