1 Elihu spake moreouer and saide
2 Thinkest thou it right that thou sayest, I am more righteous then God
3 For thou sayest: what aduauntage wyll it be vnto thee, and what profite shall I haue of my sinne
4 Therefore wyll I geue aunswere vnto thee, aud to thy companions with thee
5 Loke vnto the heauen and beholde it, consider the cloudes which are hyer then thou
6 If thou hast sinned, what hast thou done against him? If thyne offences be many, what hast thou done vnto him
7 If thou be righteous, what geuest thou him? or what wyll he receaue of thyne hande
8 Thy wickednesse [may hurt] a man as thou art, and thy righteousnesse [may profite] the sonne of man
9 They which are oppressed crye out vpon the multitude, yea they crye out for the power of the mightie
10 But none sayth, Where is God that made me? and that geueth vs occasion to praise him in the night
11 Which teacheth vs more the the beastes of the earth, and geueth vs more wysdome then the foules of heauen
12 If any such complaine, no man geueth aunswere, and that because of the wickednesse of proude tirauntes
13 For God wyll not heare vanitie, neither wyll the almightie regarde it
14 Although thou sayest [to God] thou wylt not regarde it: yet iudgement is before him, trust thou in him
15 But now because his anger hath not visited, neither called men to accompt with great extremitie
16 Therefore doth Iob open his mouth but in vaine, & he maketh many wordes without knowledge
