      | ¶ | Furthermore Elihu answered and said, | |
| Hear my words, O ye wise [men]; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge. | ||
 | For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat. | ||
| Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what [is] good. | ||
| For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment. | ||
| Should I lie against my right? my wound [is] incurable without transgression. | ||
| What man [is] like Job, [who] drinketh up scorning like water? | ||
| Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men. | ||
| For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God. | ||
| ¶ | Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: far be it from God, [that he should do] wickedness; and [from] the Almighty, [that he should commit] iniquity. | |
| For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to [his] ways. | ||
| Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment. | ||
| Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed the whole world? | ||
| If he set his heart upon man, [if] he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath; | ||
| All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust. | ||
| If now [thou hast] understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words. | ||
| Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just? | ||
| [Is it fit] to say to a king, [Thou art] wicked? [and] to princes, [Ye are] ungodly? | ||
| [How much less to him] that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all [are] the work of his hands. | ||
| In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand. | ||
| For his eyes [are] upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings. | ||
| [There is] no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves. | ||
| For he will not lay upon man more [than right]; that he should enter into judgment with God. | ||
| He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead. | ||
| Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth [them] in the night, so that they are destroyed. | ||
| He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others; | ||
| Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways: | ||
| So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted. | ||
| When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hideth [his] face, who then can behold him? whether [it be done] against a nation, or against a man only: | ||
| That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared. | ||
| ¶ | Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne [chastisement], I will not offend [any more]: | |
| [That which] I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more. | ||
| [Should it be] according to thy mind? he will recompense it, whether thou refuse, or whether thou choose; and not I: therefore speak what thou knowest. | ||
| Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken unto me. | ||
| Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words [were] without wisdom. | ||
| My desire [is that] Job may be tried unto the end because of [his] answers for wicked men. | ||
| For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth [his hands] among us, and multiplieth his words against God. |
