1Furthermore Elihu responded, and said: 2Hear, ye wise men, my words, and, ye who know, give ear unto me; 3For, the ear, trieth words, as, the palate, tasteth in eating. 4What is right, let us choose for ourselves, Let us know, among ourselves, what is good; 5For Job hath saidI am righteous, But, GOD, hath turned away my right; 6Concerning mine own right, shall I tell a falsehood? Incurable is my diseasenot for any transgression. 7What man is like Job? He drinketh in scoffing like water; 8And is on the way to keep company, with the workers of iniquity, and to walk with lawless men. 9For he hath said, It profiteth not a man, when, his good pleasure, is with God. 10Wherefore, ye men of mind, hearken unto me,Far be it, that, GOD, should be lawless, or, the Almighty, be perverse! 11For, what any son of earth doeth, he repayeth him, and, according to every mans course, he causeth him to find. 12Nay, verily, GOD, will not condemn unjustly,nor, the Almighty, pervert justice. 13Who set him in charge of the earth? Or who appointed the whole world? 14If he should set against him his heart, His spirit and his inspiration, unto himself he should withdraw. 15All flesh together, would cease to breathe, and, the earth-born, unto dust, would return. 16If then understanding, hear this, Give thou ear to the teaching of my words: 17Shall, the very hater of right, control? Or, the justthe mighty one, wilt thou condemn? 18Doth one say to a king, Abandoned one! Or, Lawless one! unto nobles? 19For he hath shewn no respect of persons unto princes, neither hath he recognised the rich rather than the poor? For, the work of his hands, are they all. 20In a moment, they die, even in the middle of the night,A people are convulsed when they pass away, A mighty one is removed, without hand; 21For, his eyes, are on the ways of a man, and, all his footsteps, he beholdeth, 22No darkness, and no death-shade, where the workers of iniquity may hide. 23For, unto no man, doth he appoint a repetition,in going unto GOD in judgment; 24He shattereth mighty ones unsearchably, and setteth up others in their stead: 25Therefore, he observeth their works,and overturneth in a night, and they are crushed; 26In the place of lawless men, hath he chastised them, in presence of beholders. 27Forasmuch, as they turned from following him, and, none of his ways, did they teach; 28Causing to reach him the outcry of the poor, Yea, the outcry of the oppressed, he heareth. 29When, he, giveth quiet, who then shall condemn? And, when he hideth face, who then shall sing of him? whether unto a nation or unto mankind altogether, 30That impious men may not reign, nor be ensnarers of the people. 31For, unto GOD, hath one saidI have borne punishment, I will not be perverse; 32What I see not, do, thou, shew me, If, perverseness, I have wrought, I will do it no more? 33According to thy mind, must he requite it, that thou hast refused? For, thou, must choose, and not, I, What then thou knowest, speak! 34The men of mind, will say to me, yea any wise man hearkening unto me: 35Job, without knowledge, doth speak, and, his words, are not with discretion. 36Would that Job might be tested to the uttermost, for replying with the men of iniquity: 37For he addethunto his sinrebellion, In our midst, he clappeth his hands, and multiplieth his sayings against GOD.
