| 1 | Moreover Eliu spoke these words: |
| 2 | Doth thy thought seem right to thee, that thou shouldst say: I am more just than God? |
| 3 | For thou saidst: That which is right doth not please thee: or what will it profit thee if I sin? |
| 4 | Therefore I will answer thy words, and thy friends with thee. |
| 5 | Look up to heaven and see, and behold the sky, that it is higher than thee. |
| 6 | If thou sin, what shalt thou hurt him? and if thy iniquities be multiplied, what shalt thou do against him? |
| 7 | And if thou do justly, what shalt thou give him, or what shall he receive of thy hand? |
| 8 | Thy wickedness may hurt a man that is like thee: and thy justice may help the son of man. |
| 9 | By reason of the multitude of oppressions they shall cry out: and shall wail for the violence of the arm of tyrants. |
| 10 | And he hath not said: Where is God, who made me, who hath given songs in the night? |
| 11 | Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and instructeth us more than the fowls of the air. |
| 12 | There shall they cry, and he will not hear, because of the pride of evil men. |
| 13 | God therefore will not hear in vain, and the Almighty will look into the causes of every one. |
| 14 | Yea when thou shalt say: He considereth not: be judged before him, and expect him. |
| 15 | For he doth not now bring on his fury, neither doth he revenge wickedness exceedingly. |
| 16 | Therefore Job openeth his mouth in vain, and multiplieth words without knowledge. |
