Furthermore
Elihu
answered
and
said,
2
Hear
my
words,
O
ye
wise
[men];
and
give
ear
unto
me,
ye
that
have
knowledge.
3
For
the
ear
trieth
words,
as
the
mouth
tasteth
meat.
4
Let
us
choose
to
us
judgment:
let
us
know
among
ourselves
what
[is]
good.
5
For
Job
hath
said,
I
am
righteous:
and
God
hath
taken
away
my
judgment.
6
Should
I
lie
against
my
right?
my
wound
[is]
incurable
without
transgression.
7
What
man
[is]
like
Job,
[who]
drinketh
up
scorning
like
water?
8
Which
goeth
in
company
with
the
workers
of
iniquity,
and
walketh
with
wicked
men.
9
For
he
hath
said,
It
profiteth
a
man
nothing
that
he
should
delight
himself
with
God.
10
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.
11
For
the
work
of
a
man
shall
he
render
unto
him,
and
cause
every
man
to
find
according
to
[his]
ways.
12
Yea,
surely
God
will
not
do
wickedly,
neither
will
the
Almighty
pervert
judgment.
13
Who
hath
given
him
a
charge
over
the
earth?
or
who
hath
disposed
the
whole
world?
14
If
he
set
his
heart
upon
man,
[if]
he
gather
unto
himself
his
spirit
and
his
breath;
15
All
flesh
shall
perish
together,
and
man
shall
turn
again
unto
dust.
16
If
now
[thou
hast]
understanding,
hear
this:
hearken
to
the
voice
of
my
words.
17
Shall
even
he
that
hateth
right
govern?
and
wilt
thou
condemn
him
that
is
most
just?
18
[Is
it
fit]
to
say
to
a
king,
[Thou
art]
wicked?
[and]
to
princes,
[Ye
are]
ungodly?
19
[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.
20
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.
21
For
his
eyes
[are]
upon
the
ways
of
man,
and
he
seeth
all
his
goings.
22
[There
is]
no
darkness,
nor
shadow
of
death,
where
the
workers
of
iniquity
may
hide
themselves.
23
For
he
will
not
lay
upon
man
more
[than
right];
that
he
should
enter
into
judgment
with
God.
24
He
shall
break
in
pieces
mighty
men
without
number,
and
set
others
in
their
stead.
25
Therefore
he
knoweth
their
works,
and
he
overturneth
[them]
in
the
night,
so
that
they
are
destroyed.
26
He
striketh
them
as
wicked
men
in
the
open
sight
of
others;
27
Because
they
turned
back
from
him,
and
would
not
consider
any
of
his
ways:
28
So
that
they
cause
the
cry
of
the
poor
to
come
unto
him,
and
he
heareth
the
cry
of
the
afflicted.
29
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:
30
That
the
hypocrite
reign
not,
lest
the
people
be
ensnared.
31
Surely
it
is
meet
to
be
said
unto
God,
I
have
borne
[chastisement],
I
will
not
offend
[any
more]:
32
[That
which]
I
see
not
teach
thou
me:
if
I
have
done
iniquity,
I
will
do
no
more.
33
[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.
34
Let
men
of
understanding
tell
me,
and
let
a
wise
man
hearken
unto
35
Job
hath
spoken
without
knowledge,
and
his
words
[were]
without
wisdom.
36
My
desire
[is
that]
Job
may
be
tried
unto
the
end
because
of
[his]
answers
for
wicked
men.
37
For
he
addeth
rebellion
unto
his
sin,
he
clappeth
[his
hands]
among
us,
and
multiplieth
his
words
against
God.
