341Moreover Elihu answered and said,+2Hear my words, ye wise [men]; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.+3For the ear trieth words, as the palate tasteth food.+4Let us choose for ourselves what is right; let us know among ourselves what is good!+5For Job hath said, I am righteous, andGod hath taken away my judgment:+6Should I lie against my right? My wound is incurable without transgression.+7What man is like Job? he drinketh up scorning like water,+8And goeth in company with workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men.+9For he hath said, It profiteth not a man if he delight himself inGod.+10Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: Far be wickedness fromGod, and wrong from the Almighty!+11For a man's work will he render to him, and cause every one to find according to [his] way.+12Yea, surely,God acteth not wickedly, and the Almighty perverteth not judgment.+13Who hath entrusted to him the earth? and who hath disposed the whole world?+14If he only thought of himself, [and] gathered unto him his spirit and his breath,+15All flesh would expire together, and man would return to the dust.+16If now [thou hast] understanding, hear this: give ear to the voice of my words!+17Should he that hateth right indeed govern? and wilt thou condemn the All-just?+18Shall one say to a king, Belial? to nobles, Wicked?+19[How then to him] that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich man more than the poor? for they are all the work of his hands.+20In a moment they die, even at midnight the people are convulsed and pass away; and the strong are taken away without hand.+21For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his steps.+22There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.+23For he doth not long consider a man, to bring him beforeGod in judgment.+24He breaketh in pieces mighty men without inquiry, and setteth others in their stead;+25Since he knoweth their actions; and he overthroweth [them] in the night, and they are crushed.+26He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others,+27Because they have turned back from him, and would consider none of his ways;+28So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.+29When he giveth quietness, who then will disturb? and when he hideth [his] face, who shall behold him? and this towards a nation, or towards a man alike;+30That the ungodly man reign not, that the people be not ensnared.+31For hath he said untoGod, I bear [chastisement], I will not offend;+32What I see not, teach thou me; if I have done wrong, I will do so no more?+33Shall he recompense according to thy mind? for thou hast refused [his judgment]; for thou so choosest, and not I; speak then what thou knowest.+34Men of understanding will say to me, and a wise man who heareth me:+35Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were not with intelligence.+36Would that Job may be tried unto the end, because of [his] answers after the manner of evil men!+37For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth [his hands] among us, and multiplieth his words againstGod.+
