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