¹ Therefore Elihu spake again, these things,

² Whether thy thought seemeth even, either rightful, to thee, that thou should-est say, I am right-fuller [or more right-wise] than God?

³ For thou saidest, That, that is good, pleaseth not thee; either what profit-eth it to thee, if I do sin?

⁴ Therefore I shall answer to thy words, and to thy friends with thee.

⁵ See thou, and behold heaven, and behold thou the air, and know that God is higher than thou. [Behold heaven, and look, and mindfully see the clouds, that is higher than thou.]

⁶ If thou sinnest, what shalt thou annoy him? and if thy wickednesses be multiplied, what shalt thou do against him?

⁷ Certainly if thou doest justly [or rightwisely], what shalt thou give to him; either what shall he take of thine hand?

⁸ Thy wickedness shall annoy a man, which is like thee; and thy right-wiseness shall help the son of a man.

⁹ Men shall cry for the multitude of false challengers, and they shall wail for the violence of the power of tyrants.

¹⁰ And Job said not, Where is God, that made me, and that gave songs in the night?

¹¹ And the which teacheth us above the beasts of [the] earth, and he shall teach us above the birds of heaven.

¹² There they shall cry, and God shall not hear them, for the pride of evil men.

¹³ For God shall not hear without cause, and Almighty God shall behold the causes of each man.

¹⁴ Yea, when thou sayest, He behold-eth not; be thou deemed before him, and abide thou him.

¹⁵ For now the Lord bringeth not in his strong vengeance, neither he avengeth felonies greatly here.

¹⁶ Therefore Job openeth his mouth in vain, and multiplieth words without knowing.
