Job 35 And undertaking, Elihu says,

1 G5274 And undertaking, G1161 G* Elihu G3004 says,

2 G5100 What G3778 is this G2233 you esteem G1722 in G2920 equity? G1473 You, G5100 who G1510.2.2 are you, G3754 that G2036 you said, G1342 I am righteous G1510.2.1 G1726 before G2962 the lord ?

3 G3754 For G2046 you shall say, G5100 How G4160 should I have committed G264 sinning?

4 G1473 I G1473 shall give to you G1325 G612 an answer, G2532 and G3588 to G5140 [²three G5384 ³friends G1473 ¹your].

5 G308 Look up G1519 into G3588 the G3772 heaven, G2532 and G1492 behold! G2648 Study G3509 the clouds, G5613 how G5308 high G575 they are from G1473 you!

6 G1487 If G264 you sinned, G5100 what G4238 will you do? G1499.1 And even if G4183 in many things G457.1 you acted lawlessly, G5100 what G1410 are you able G4160 to do?

7 G1893 Since G3767 then G1342 you are righteous, G1510.2.2 G5100 what G1325 shall you give G1473 to him, G2228 or G5100 what G1537 [²from out of G5495 ³your hand G1473 G2983 ¹shall he take]?

8 G435 To a man G3588 G3664 likened to G1473 you -- G3588 G763 of your impiety; G1473 G2532 and G5207 to a son G444 of man -- G3588 G1343 of your righteousness. G1473

9 G575 [²by G4128 ³a multitude G4811 ¹The ones being extorted] G2896 shall cry out; G994 they shall yell G575 because of G1023 the arm G4183 of many.

10 G2532 And one G3756 said not, G2036 G4226 Where G1510.2.3 is G3588 the G2316 God G3588 G4160 who made G1473 me, G3588 the one G2697.1 delegating G5438 [²watches G3563.1 ¹ the nightly];

11 G3588 the one G1357.1 separating G1473 me G575 from G5074 the four-footed beasts G1093 of the earth, G575 and from G1161 G4071 the birds G3772 of heaven.

12 G1563 There G2896 they shall cry out, G2532 and G3766.2 in no way G1522 shall one listen, G2532 even G575 because of G5196 the insolence G4190 of wicked men.

13 G824 For things out of place G1063 G1014 [³does not want G3756 G1492 ⁴to behold G3588 ¹the G2962 ² lord], G1473 for he is G1063 G3588 the G3841 almighty.

14 G3706.1 He is an observer G1510.2.3 G3588 of the ones G4931 completing G3588 G459 lawless deeds, G2532 and G4982 he will deliver G1473 me; G2919 and you plead G1161 G1726 before G1473 him! G1487 if G1410 you are able G134 to praise G1473 him, G5613 as G1510.2.3 he is.

15 G2532 And G3568 now G3754 that G3756 he is not G1510.2.3 G1980 numbering G3709 his anger, G1473 G2532 and G3756 he knows not G1097 G3900 [²transgressions G4970 ¹exceeding],

16 G2532 even G* Job G3154.1 acting in folly G455 opens G3588 G4750 his mouth; G1473 G1722 in G56 ignorance G4487 [²words G925 ¹he weighs down].

new⁽ⁱ⁾

1 H453 Elihu H6030 [H8799] spoke H559 [H8799] moreover, and said,

2 H2803 [H8804] Thinkest H4941 thou this to be right, H559 [H8804] that thou saidst, H6664 My righteousness H410 is more than God's?

3 H559 [H8799] For thou saidst, H5532 [H8799] What advantage H3276 [H8686] will it be to thee? and, What profit H2403 shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?

4 H7725 H4405 [H8686] I will answer H7453 thee, and thy companions with thee.

5 H5027 [H8685] Look H8064 to the heavens, H7200 [H8798] and see; H7789 [H8798] and behold H7834 the clouds H1361 [H8804] which are higher than thou.

6 H2398 [H8804] If thou sinnest, H6466 [H8799] what doest H6588 thou against him? or if thy revolts H7231 [H8804] are multiplied, H6213 [H8799] what doest thou to him?

7 H6663 [H8804] If thou art righteous, H5414 [H8799] what givest H3947 [H8799] thou to him? or what receiveth H3027 he from thine hand?

8 H7562 Thy wickedness H376 may hurt a man H6666 as thou art; and thy righteousness H1121 may profit the son H120 of man.

9 H7230 By reason of the abundance H6217 of oppressions H2199 [H8686] they make the oppressed to cry: H7768 [H8762] they halloo H2220 by reason of the arm H7227 of the mighty.

10 H559 [H8804] But none saith, H433 Where is God H6213 [H8802] my maker, H5414 [H8802] who giveth H2158 songs H3915 in the night;

11 H502 [H8764] Who teacheth H929 us more than the beasts H776 of the earth, H2449 [H8762] and maketh us wiser H5775 than the fowls H8064 of heaven?

12 H6817 [H8799] There they shriek, H6030 [H8799] but none giveth answer, H6440 because H1347 of the pride H7451 of evil men.

13 H410 Surely God H8085 [H8799] will not hear H7723 vanity, H7706 neither will the Almighty H7789 [H8799] regard it.

14 H637 Although H559 [H8799] thou sayest H7789 [H8799] thou shalt not see H1779 him, yet judgment H6440 is at the face of H2342 [H8787] him; therefore trust thou in him.

15 H6485 [H8804] But now, because it is not so, he hath visited H639 in his anger; H3045 [H8804] yet he knoweth H3966 it not in great H6580 extremity:

16 H347 Therefore doth Job H6475 [H8799] open H6310 his mouth H1892 in vain; H3527 [H8686] he multiplieth H4405 words H1097 without H1847 knowledge.

Wycliffe⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Therfor Helyu spak eft these thingis, Whethir thi thouyt semeth euene, ² `ether riytful, to thee, that thou schuldist seie, Y am riytfulere than God? ³ For thou seidist, That, that is good, plesith not thee; ethir what profitith it to thee, if Y do synne? ⁴ Therfor Y schal answere to thi wordis, and to thi frendis with thee. ⁵ Se thou, and biholde heuene, and biholde thou the eir, that God is hiyere than thou. ⁶ If thou synnest `ayens hym, what schalt thou anoye hym? and if thi wickidnessis ben multiplied, what schalt thou do ayens hym? ⁷ Certis if thou doist iustli, what schalt thou yyue to hym; ether what schal he take of thin hond? ⁸ Thi wickidnesse schal anoie a man, which is lijk thee; and thi riytfulnesse schal helpe the sone of a man. ⁹ Thei schulen cry for the multitude of fals chalengeris, and thei schulen weile for the violence of the arm of tirauntis. ¹⁰ And Joob seide not, Where is God, that made me, and that yaf songis in the nyyt? ¹¹ Which God techith vs aboue the beestis of erthe, and he schal teche vs aboue the briddis of heuene. ¹² There thei schulen crye, and God schal not here, for the pride of yuele men. ¹³ For God schal not here with out cause, and Almyyti God schal biholde the causis of ech man. ¹⁴ Yhe, whanne thou seist, He biholdith not; be thou demed bifor hym, and abide thou hym. ¹⁵ For now he bryngith not in his strong veniaunce, nether vengith `greetli felonye. ¹⁶ Therfor Joob openith his mouth in veyn, and multiplieth wordis with out kunnyng.

Coverdale⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Eliu spake morouer, and sayde: ² Thinkest thou it right that thou sayest: I am rightuous before God ³ Seinge thou sayest so, how doest thou knowe it? What thinge hast thou more excellet, the I yt am a synner? ⁴ Therfore will I geue answere vnto the & thy frendes: ⁵ loke vnto the heaue, & beholde it: cosidre ye cloudes, how they are hyer then thou. ⁶ Yf thou synnest, what dost thou vnto him? Yf thine offences be many, how gettest thou his fauoure? ⁷ Yf thou be rightuous, what geuest thou him? Or, what receaueth he of thy handes? ⁸ Of soch an vngodly personne as thou, & of ye sonne of man that is rightuous as thou pretendest to be: ⁹ there is a greate crie & coplaynte made by the that are oppressed with violence, yee eueryman complayneth vpon the cruell arme of tyrauntes. ¹⁰ For soch one neuer sayeth: Where is God that made me? ad yt shyneth vpon vs, that we might prayse him in the night? ¹¹ Which geueth vs more vnderstodinge then he doth the beastes of the earth, and teacheth vs more then the foules off heaue. ¹² Yf eny soch complayne, no ma geueth answere, and yt because of the wickednesse off proude tyrauntes. ¹³ But yf a man call vpon God, doth not he heare him? Doth not the Almightie accepte his crie? ¹⁴ Wha thou speakest then, shulde not he pardon the, yff thou open thyself before him, and put thy trust in him? ¹⁵ Then vseth he no violence in his wrath nether hath he pleasure in curious and depe inquisicions. ¹⁶ Therfore hath Iob opened his mouth but in vayne, ad folishly hath he made so many wordes.

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Elihu spake moreover, and said, ² "Thinkest thou it right, that thou saidst, 'I am righteous before God?' ³ For thou sayest, 'What advantage will it be unto thee, and what profit shall thou have of my sin?' ⁴ Therefore will I give answer unto thee and thy friends. ⁵ Look unto the heaven, and behold it: consider the clouds, how they are higher than thou. ⁶ If thou sinnest, what doest thou unto him?

And that shineth upon us, that we might praise him in the night? ¹¹ Which giveth us more understanding than he doth the beasts of the earth, and teacheth us more than the fouls of heaven?' ¹² If any such complain, no man giveth answer; and that because of the wickedness of proud tyrants. ¹³ But if a man call upon God, doth not he hear him? Doth not the Almighty accept his cry? ¹⁴ "When thou speakest, then, should not he pardon thee, if thou open thyself before him, and put thy trust in him? ¹⁵ Then useth he no violence in his wrath, neither hath he pleasure in curious and deep inquisitions. ¹⁶ Therefore hath Job opened his mouth but in vain, and foolishly hath he made so many words."

Matthew⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Eliu spake moreouer, and sayde: ² Thinkest thou it right that thou saiest: I am ryghteous before GOD? ³ Seynge, thou sayest so, howe doest thou knowe it? What thynge haste thou more excellente then I, that I am a synner? ⁴ Therfore wyll I geue answere vnto the and thy frendes: ⁵ loke vnto the heauen, and beholde it: consydre the cloudes, how they are hyer then thou. ⁶ If thou sinnest, what doest thou vnto hym? If thyne offences be manye, howe gettest thou his fauoure? ⁷ Yf thou be ryghteous what geuest thou hym? Or what receyueth he of thy handes? ⁸ Of such an vngodly personne as thou, and of the sonne of man that is ryghtuous as thou pretendeste to be: ⁹ there is a great crye & complaynt made by them that are oppressed with violence, yea euerye man complayneth vpon the cruell arme of tyrauntes. ¹⁰ For suche one neuer sayeth: Where is God that made me? & that shyneth vpon vs, that we myght prayse him in the nighte? ¹¹ Whiche geueth vs more vnderstandyng then he doth the beastes of the earthe, and teacheth vs more then the foules of heauen. ¹² If anye suche complayne, no man geueth answere, and that because of the wyckednesse of proude tyrauntes. ¹³ But yf a man call vpon God, doth not he heare him? Doth not the almyghtye accepte hys crye? ¹⁴ Whan thou speakest then, shulde not he pardon the, yf thou open thy selfe before hym, and put thy trust in hym? ¹⁵ Then vseth he no vyolence in his wrath nether hath the pleasure in curyous & depe inquisicions. ¹⁶ Therfore hath Iob opened hys mouthe but in vayne, and folyshlye hathe he made so many wordes.

Great⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Elihu spake moreouer, & sayde: ² Thynkest thou it ryght, that thou sayest: I am ryghtuous before God? ³ For thou sayest: What aduauntage will it be vnto the, and what profyt shalt thou haue of my synne. ⁴ Therfore will I geue answere vnto the and to thy companyons wyth the ⁵ loke vnto the heauen, and beholde it: consydre the cloudes, whych are hyer then thou. ⁶ If thou hast synned, what hast thou done against him? If thine offences be many, what hast thou done vnto hym? ⁷ If thou be ryghtuous what geuest thou him? Or what will he receaue of thy hand? ⁸ Of soche an vngodly personne as thou, and of the sonne of man that is ryghtuous as thou pretendest to be: ⁹ there is a greate cry and complaynte made by them that are oppressed wyth vyolence, yee, euery man complayneth vpon the crueltye of tyrauntes. ¹⁰ For soche a one neuer sayeth: Where is God that made me? & that geueth vs occasion to prayse him in the night? ¹¹ Whych geueth vs more vnderstandyng then he doth the beastes of the earth, & teacheth vs more then he doth the foules of heauen. ¹² If any soch complayne, no man geueth answere, and that because of the wyckednesse of proude tyrauntes. ¹³ But yf a man call vpon God, doth not he heare him?

Geneva⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Elihu spake moreouer, and said, ² Thinkest thou this right, that thou hast said, I am more righteous then God? ³ For thou hast said, What profiteth it thee and what auaileth it me, to purge me from my sinne? ⁴ Therefore will I answere thee, and thy companions with thee. ⁵ Looke vnto the heauen, and see and behold the cloudes which are hyer then thou. ⁶ If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him, yea, when thy sinnes be many, what doest thou vnto him? ⁷ If thou be righteous, what giuest thou vnto him? or what receiueth he at thine hand? ⁸ Thy wickednesse may hurt a man as thou art: and thy righteousnes may profite ye sonne of man. ⁹ They cause many that are oppressed, to crye, which crye out for ye violence of the mightie. ¹⁰ But none saieth, Where is God that made me, which giueth songs in the nyght? ¹¹ Which teacheth vs more then the beastes of the earth, and giueth vs more wisdome then the foules of the heauen. ¹² Then they crye because of the violence of the wicked, but he answereth not. ¹³ Surely God will not heare vanitie, neyther will the Almightie regard it. ¹⁴ Although thou sayest to God, Thou wilt not regard it, yet iudgement is before him: trust thou in him. ¹⁵ But nowe because his anger hath not visited, nor called to count the euill with great extremitie, ¹⁶ Therfore Iob openeth his mouth in vaine, and multiplieth wordes without knowledge.

Bishops⁽ⁱ⁾ 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

DouayRheims⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Moreover Eliu spoke these words: ² Doth thy thought seem right to thee, that thou shouldst say: I am more just than God? ³ For thou saidst: That which is right doth not please thee: or what will it profit thee if I sin? ⁴ Therefore I will answer thy words, and thy friends with thee. ⁵ Look up to heaven and see, and behold the sky, that it is higher than thee. ⁶ If thou sin, what shalt thou hurt him? and if thy iniquities be multiplied, what shalt thou do against him? ⁷ And if thou do justly, what shalt thou give him, or what shall he receive of thy hand? ⁸ Thy wickedness may hurt a man that is like thee: and thy justice may help the son of man. ⁹ By reason of the multitude of oppressors they shall cry out: and shall wail for the violence of the arm of tyrants. ¹⁰ And he hath not said: Where is God, who made me, who hath given songs in the night? ¹¹ Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and instructeth us more than the fowls of the air. ¹² There shall they cry, and he will not hear, because of the pride of evil men. ¹³ God therefore will not hear in vain, and the Almighty will look into the causes of every one. ¹⁴ Yea, when thou shalt say: He considereth not: be judged before him, and expect him. ¹⁵ For he doth not now bring on his fury, neither doth he revenge wickedness exceedingly. ¹⁶ Therefore Job openeth his mouth in vain, and multiplieth words without knowledge.

KJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Elihu spake moreover, and said, ² Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God's? ³ For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin? ⁴ I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee. ⁵ Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou. ⁶ If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him? ⁷ If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand? ⁸ Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man. ⁹ By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty. ¹⁰ But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night; ¹¹ Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven? ¹² There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men. ¹³ Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it. ¹⁴ Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him. ¹⁵ But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity: ¹⁶ Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.

KJV_Cambridge⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Elihu spake moreover, and said, ² Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God's? ³ For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin? ⁴ I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee. ⁵ Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou. ⁶ If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him? ⁷ If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand? ⁸ Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man. ⁹ By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty. ¹⁰ But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night; ¹¹ Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven? ¹² There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men. ¹³ Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it. ¹⁴ Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him. ¹⁵ But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity: ¹⁶ Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.

4 H7725 I will answer [H8686] H4405 H7453 thee, and thy companions with thee.

5 H5027 Look [H8685] H8064 unto the heavens H7200 , and see [H8798] H7789 ; and behold [H8798] H7834 the clouds H1361 which are higher [H8804] than thou.

7 H6663 If thou be righteous [H8804] H5414 , what givest [H8799] H3947 thou him? or what receiveth [H8799] H3027 he of thine hand?

8 H7562 Thy wickedness H376 may hurt a man H6666 as thou art; and thy righteousness H1121 may profit the son H120 of man.

9 H7230 By reason of the multitude H6217 of oppressions H2199 they make the oppressed to cry [H8686] H7768 : they cry out [H8762] H2220 by reason of the arm H7227 of the mighty.

10 H559 But none saith [H8804] H433 , Where is God H6213 my maker [H8802] H5414 , who giveth [H8802] H2158 songs H3915 in the night;

12 H6817 There they cry [H8799] H6030 , but none giveth answer [H8799] H6440 , because H1347 of the pride H7451 of evil men.

13 H410 Surely God H8085 will not hear [H8799] H7723 vanity H7706 , neither will the Almighty H7789 regard [H8799] it.

14 H637 Although H559 thou sayest [H8799] H7789 thou shalt not see [H8799] H1779 him, yet judgment H6440 is before H2342 him; therefore trust [H8787] thou in him.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Then Elius proceeded and said, ² What thinkest thou of this in thy pleading? Who art thou that thou shouldst say, "I am righteous before the Lord?" ³ Or wilt thou say, "What can I do if I sin?" ⁴ I will answer thee and these three friends of thine. ⁵ Look up to yonder heaven and see; and observe the clouds, how high above thee they are. ⁶ If thou hast sinned, what canst thou do? And if thou hast multiplied transgressions, what canst thou effect? ⁷ If thou art righteous, what canst thou give him? Or will he receive any thing at thy hands? ⁸ Thy wickedness may affect a man like thyself: and thy righteousness, a son of man . ⁹ On the account of a multitude, they who are falsely accused will scream: They will call aloud because of the arm of many, ¹⁰ but none said, where is the God who made me; ¹¹ who regulateth the watches of the night; who distinguisheth me from the beasts of the earth and from the birds of the air? ¹² There let them scream. He indeed may not hearken even at the abuse of bad men. ¹³ "Since it is not the Lord's desire to see improper things; since he, the Almighty, ¹⁴ is the observer of them who do injustice; he should save me:" but be judged before him. Canst thou praise him as things are? ¹⁵ Because he doth not regard Job's anger; and hath not severely animadverted on some offence: ¹⁶ therefore Job vainly openeth his mouth; he loadeth his speeches with folly.

Webster⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Elihu spoke moreover, and said, ² Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God's? ³ For thou saidst, What advantage will it be to thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin? ⁴ I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee. ⁵ Look to the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou. ⁶ If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions are multiplied, what doest thou to him? ⁷ If thou art righteous, what givest thou to him? or what receiveth he from thy hand? ⁸ Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art: and thy righteousness may profit the son of man. ⁹ By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty. ¹⁰ But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night; ¹¹ Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven? ¹² There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men. ¹³ Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it. ¹⁴ Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him. ¹⁵ But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity: ¹⁶ Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.

1 H453 Elihu H6030 [H8799] spoke H559 [H8799] moreover, and said,

8 H7562 Thy wickedness H376 may hurt a man H6666 as thou art; and thy righteousness H1121 may profit the son H120 of man.

9 H7230 By reason of the multitude H6217 of oppressions H2199 [H8686] they make the oppressed to cry H7768 [H8762] : they cry out H2220 by reason of the arm H7227 of the mighty.

10 H559 [H8804] But none saith H433 , Where is God H6213 [H8802] my maker H5414 [H8802] , who giveth H2158 songs H3915 in the night;

12 H6817 [H8799] There they cry H6030 [H8799] , but none giveth answer H6440 , because H1347 of the pride H7451 of evil men.

13 H410 Surely God H8085 [H8799] will not hear H7723 vanity H7706 , neither will the Almighty H7789 [H8799] regard it.

Brenton⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Elius resumed and said, ² What is this that thou thinkest to be according to right? who art thou that thou hast said, I am righteous before the Lord? ³ I will answer thee, and thy three friends. ⁴ Look up to the sky and see; and consider the clouds, how high they are above thee. ⁵ If thou hast sinned, what wilt thou do? ⁶ and if too thou hast transgressed much, what canst thou perform? ⁷ And suppose thou art righteous, what wilt thou give him? or what shall he receive of thy hand? ⁸ Thy ungodliness may affect a man who is like to thee; or thy righteousness a son of man. ⁹ They that are oppressed of a multitude will be ready to cry out; they will call for help because of the arm of many. ¹⁰ But none said, Where is God that made me, who appoints the night-watches; ¹¹ who makes me to differ from the four-footed beasts of the earth, and from the birds of the sky? ¹² There they shall cry, and none shall hearken, even because of the insolence of wicked men. ¹³ For the Lord desires not to look on error, for he is the Almighty One. ¹⁴ He beholds them that perform lawless deeds, and he will save me: and do thou plead before him, if thou canst praise him, as it is possible even now. ¹⁵ For he is not now regarding his wrath, nor has he noticed severely any trespass. ¹⁶ Yet Job vainly opens his mouth, in ignorance he multiplies words.

⁴ Ἀνάβλεψον εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν, καὶ ἰδέ· κατάμαθε δὲ νέφη, ὡς ὑψηλὰ ἀπὸ σοῦ. ⁵ Εἰ ἥμαρτες, τί πράξεις; ⁶ εἰ δὲ καὶ πολλὰ ἠνόμησας, τί δύνασαι ποιῆσαι; ⁷ Ἐπεὶ δὲ οὖν δικαιος εἶ, τί δώσεις αὐτῷ; ἢ τί ἐκ χειρός σου λήψεται; ⁸ Ἀνδρὶ τῷ ὁμοίῳ σου ἡ ἀσέβειά σου, καὶ υἱῷ ἀνθρώπου ἡ δικαιοσύνη σου. ⁹ Ἀπὸ πλήθους συκοφαντούμενοι κεκράξονται, βοήσονται ἀπὸ βραχίονος πολλῶν. ¹⁰ Καὶ οὐκ εἶπε, ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ Θεὸς ὁ ποιήσας με, ὁ κατατάσσων φυλακὰς νυκτερινάς, ¹¹ ὁ διορίζων με ἀπὸ τετραπόδων γῆς, ἀπὸ δὲ πετεινῶν οὐρανοῦ; ¹² Ἐκεῖ κεκράξονται, καὶ οὐ μὴ εἰσακούσῃ, καὶ ἀπὸ ὕβρεως πονηρῶν.
¹³ Ἄτοπα γὰρ οὐ βούλεται ἰδεῖν ὁ Κύριος, αὐτὸς γὰρ ὁ παντοκράτωρ ¹⁴ Ὁρατής ἐστι τῶν συντελούντων τὰ ἄνομα, καὶ σώσει με· κρίθητι δὲ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ, εἰ δύνασαι αὐτὸν αἰνέσαι, ὥς ἐστι καὶ νῦν. ¹⁵ Ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἐπισκεπτόμενος ὀργὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἔγνω παράπτωμά τι σφόδρα· ¹⁶ καὶ Ἰὼβ ματαίως ἀνοίγει τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ, ἐν ἀγνωσίᾳ ῥήματα βαρύνει.

Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Then commenced Elihu, and said, ² Dost thou deem this to be just, that thou hast said, “My righteousness is more than God’s?” ³ For thou sayest, “What benefit will it be unto thee? what more profit shall I have, than if I had sinned?” ⁴ I will truly reply unto thee with words, and unto thy friends with thee. ⁵ Look unto the heavens, and see; and gaze on the skies which are higher than thou. ⁶ If thou sin, what dost thou effect against him? and if thy transgressions be multiplied, what canst thou do unto him? ⁷ If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what doth he accept out of thy hand? ⁸ A man like thyself thy wickedness may reach, and a son of earth thy righteousness. ⁹ By reason of the multitude of oppressions the wicked cause men to cry: these complain aloud because of the arm of the mighty. ¹⁰ But man saith not, Where is God my maker, who bestoweth joyful songs even in the night; ¹¹ Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of the heavens? ¹² There do they cry, but he answereth not: because of the pride of evil men. ¹³ Only what is false will God not hear, nor will the Almighty regard it. ¹⁴ Although thou sayest, thou canst not see him: yet the decision is before him; and do thou wait for him. ¹⁵ But now, because his anger hath punished nothing, shall he not greatly take cognizance of the multitude of sins? ¹⁶ But Job openeth wide his mouth for nought: without knowledge he heapeth up words.

YLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Elihu answereth and saith: — ² This hast thou reckoned for judgment: Thou hast said—`My righteousness is more than God's?' ³ For thou sayest, `What doth it profit Thee! What do I profit from my sin?' ⁴ I return thee words, and thy friends with thee, ⁵ Behold attentively the heavens—and see, And behold the clouds, They have been higher than thou. ⁶ If thou hast sinned, what dost thou against Him? And thy transgressions have been multiplied, What dost thou to Him? ⁷ If thou hast been righteous, What dost thou give to Him? Or what from thy hand doth He receive? ⁸ For a man like thyself is thy wickedness, And for a son of man thy righteousness.
⁹ Because of the multitude of oppressions They cause to cry out, They cry because of the arm of the mighty. ¹⁰ And none said, `Where is God my maker? Giving songs in the night, ¹¹ Teaching us more than the beasts of the earth, Yea, than the fowl of the heavens He maketh us wiser.' ¹² There they cry, and He doth not answer, Because of the pride of evil doers. ¹³ Surely vanity God doth not hear, And the Mighty doth not behold it.
¹⁴ Yea, though thou sayest thou dost not behold Him, Judgment is before Him, and stay for Him. ¹⁵ And, now, because there is not, He hath appointed His anger, And He hath not known in great extremity. ¹⁶ And Job with vanity doth open his mouth, Without knowledge words he multiplieth.

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Elihu will answer and say, ² Didst thou reckon this for judgment thou saidst, My justice is above God? ³ For thou wilt say, What shall it profit to thee? what shall I profit from my sin? ⁴ I will turn back words to thee, and thy companions with thee. ⁵ Look upon the heavens and see; behold the clouds, they were high above thee. ⁶ If thou sinnedst, what wilt thou do against him? and thy transgressions were multiplied, what wilt thou do to him? ⁷ If thou wert just, what wilt thou give to him? or what shall he take from thy hand? ⁸ Thy injustice to a man as thou: and thy justice to the son of man. ⁹ From the multitude of oppressions they will cry out: they will cry out from the arm of the many. ¹⁰ And not saying, Where is God making me? he gave songs in the night ¹¹ And who teacheth us from the cattle of the earth, and he will make us wise above the birds of the heavens? ¹² Then they will cry, and he will not answer from the face of the pride of the evil. ¹³ Also God will not hear vanity, and the Almighty will not look upon it ¹⁴ Also if thou shalt say thou wilt not see him, judgment is before him, and thou shalt wait for him. ¹⁵ And now that it is not, he reviewed his anger, and he knew not in great transgression. ¹⁶ And Job will open his mouth in vain; he will bind together words without knowledge.

Darby⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Moreover Elihu answered and said, ² Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than ?God`s? ³ For thou hast asked of what profit it is unto thee: what do I gain more than if I had sinned? ⁴ I will reply to thee in words, and to thy companions with thee. ⁵ Look unto the heavens and see; and survey the skies: they are higher than thou. ⁶ If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? If thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him? ⁷ If thou be righteous, what givest thou to him? or what doth he receive of thy hand? ⁸ Thy wickedness [may affect] a man as thou [art], and thy righteousness a son of man. ⁹ By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry; they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty: ¹⁰ But none saith, Where is +God my Maker, who giveth songs in the night, ¹¹ Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowl of the heavens? ¹² There they cry, and he answereth not, because of the pride of evil men. ¹³ Surely ?God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it. ¹⁴ Although thou sayest thou dost not see him, judgment is before him, therefore wait for him. ¹⁵ But now, because he hath not visited in his anger, doth not [Job] know [his] great arrogancy? ¹⁶ For Job hath opened his mouth in vanity, and made words abundant without knowledge.

ERV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Moreover Elihu answered and said, ² Thinkest thou this to be [thy] right, [or] sayest thou, My righteousness is more than God’s, ³ That thou sayest, What advantage will it be unto thee? [and], What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned? ⁴ I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee. ⁵ Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the skies, which are higher than thou. ⁶ If thou hast sinned, what doest thou against him? and if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him. ⁷ If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand? ⁸ Thy wickedness [may hurt] a man as thou art; and thy righteousness [may profit] a son of man. ⁹ By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out; they cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty. ¹⁰ But none saith, Where is God my Maker, who giveth songs in the night; ¹¹ Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven? ¹² There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men. ¹³ Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it. ¹⁴ How much less when thou sayest thou beholdest him not, the cause is before him, and thou waitest for him! ¹⁵ But now, because he hath not visited in his anger, neither doth he greatly regard arrogance; ¹⁶ Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vanity; he multiplieth words without knowledge.

ASV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Moreover Elihu answered and said, ² Thinkest thou this to be [thy] right,
[Or] sayest thou, My righteousness is more than God's, ³ That thou sayest, What advantage will it be unto thee?
[And], What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned? ⁴ I will answer thee,
And thy companions with thee. ⁵ Look unto the heavens, and see;
And behold the skies, which are higher than thou. ⁶ If thou hast sinned, what effectest thou against him?
And if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him? ⁷ If thou be righteous, what givest thou him?
Or what receiveth he of thy hand? ⁸ Thy wickedness [may hurt] a man as thou art;
And thy righteousness [may profit] a son of man.
⁹ By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out;
They cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty. ¹⁰ But none saith, Where is God my Maker,
Who giveth songs in the night, ¹¹ Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth,
And maketh us wiser than the birds of the heavens? ¹² There they cry, but none giveth answer,
Because of the pride of evil men. ¹³ Surely God will not hear an empty [cry],
Neither will the Almighty regard it. ¹⁴ How much less when thou sayest thou beholdest him not,
The cause is before him, and thou waitest for him! ¹⁵ But now, because he hath not visited in his anger,
Neither doth he greatly regard arrogance; ¹⁶ Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vanity;
He multiplieth words without knowledge.

1 H453 Moreover Elihu H6030 answered H559 and said,

2 H2803 Thinkest H4941 thou this to be thy right, H559 Or sayest H6664 thou, My righteousness H410 is more than God's,

3 H559 That thou sayest, H5532 What advantage H3276 will it be unto thee? And, What profit H2403 shall I have, more than if I had sinned?

4 H7725 I will answer H7453 thee, And thy companions with thee.

9 H7230 By reason of the multitude H6217 of oppressions H7768 they cry out; H2199 They cry H2220 for help by reason of the arm H7227 of the mighty.

10 H559 But none saith, H433 Where is God H6213 my Maker, H5414 Who giveth H2158 songs H3915 in the night,

12 H6817 There they cry, H6030 but none giveth answer, H6440 Because H1347 of the pride H7451 of evil men.

13 H410 Surely God H8085 will not hear H7723 an empty H7706 cry, Neither will the Almighty H7789 regard it.

14 H637 How H559 much less when thou sayest H7789 thou beholdest H1779 him not, The cause H6440 is before H2342 him, and thou waitest for him!

15 H6485 But now, because he hath not visited H639 in his anger, H3966 Neither doth he greatly H3045 regard H6580 arrogance;

16 H347 Therefore doth Job H6475 open H6310 his mouth H1892 in vanity; H3527 He multiplieth H4405 words H1097 without H1847 knowledge.

JPS_ASV_Byz⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Moreover Elihu answered and said: ² Thinkest thou this to be thy right, or sayest thou: 'I am righteousness before God', ³ That thou inquirest: 'What advantage will it be unto Thee?' And: 'What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?' ⁴ I will give thee answer, and thy companions with thee. ⁵ Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the skies, which are higher than thou. ⁶ If thou hast sinned, what doest thou against Him? And if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto Him? ⁷ If thou be righteous, what givest thou Him? Or what receiveth He of thy hand? ⁸ Thy wickedness concerneth a man as thou art; and thy righteousness a son of man. ⁹ By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out; they cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty. ¹⁰ But none saith: 'Where is God my Maker, who giveth songs in the night; ¹¹ Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?' ¹² There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men. ¹³ Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it. ¹⁴ Yea, when thou sayest thou canst not see Him - the cause is before Him; therefore wait thou for Him. ¹⁵ And now, is it for nought that He punished in His anger? And hath He not full knowledge of arrogance? ¹⁶ But Job doth open his mouth in vanity; he multiplieth words without knowledge.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Moreover Elihu, responded and said:–– ² This, dost thou think to be right? Thou hast said––My righteousness is more than GOD’S. ³ For thou dost say, How can one profit by thee? How can I benefit, more than by my sin? ⁴ I, will answer thee plainly, and thy friends with thee. ⁵ Look at the heavens and see,––and survey the skies––they are higher than thou. ⁶ If thou sinnest, what canst thou work against him? Or, if thy transgressions be multiplied, what canst thou do unto him? ⁷ If thou art righteous, what canst thou give unto him? Or what, at thy hand, can he accept? ⁸ Unto a man like thyself, might thy lawlessness [reach], and, unto a son of the earth–born, thy righteousness.
⁹ By reason of the multitude of oppressions, [men] make outcry, They cry for help, by reason of the arm of the mighty; ¹⁰ But none saith––Where is GOD my maker, Who giveth songs in the night; ¹¹ Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and, beyond the bird of the heavens, giveth us wisdom? ¹² There, [men] make outcry, and he answereth not, because of the arrogance of evil–doers. ¹³ Howbeit, vanity, will GOD not hear, Yea, the Almighty, will not regard it.
¹⁴ How much less when thou sayest thou wilt not regard him! The cause, is before him, and thou must wait for him. ¹⁵ But, now, because it is not so, [thou sayest]––His anger hath punished, and yet hath he not at all known of transgression; ¹⁶ Thus, Job, vainly openeth his mouth, Without knowledge, he multiplieth words.

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Then Elihu continued to answer and said: ² Is this what you reckon as right judgment? Do you say, This is my righteousness before El, ³ When you ask, How is it profitable to me? What more do I benefit than if I had sinned? ⁴ I myself shall reply to you with declarations, And to your associates with you. ⁵ Look at the heavens and see; Regard the skies; they are loftier than you. ⁶ If you sin, what effect do you have on Him, And if your transgressions are many, what do you do to Him? ⁷ If you are righteous, what do you give to Him? Or what does He take from your hand? ⁸ Your wickedness affects a man like yourself, And your righteousness a son of humanity. ⁹ Under a multitude of extortions they cry out; They implore under the arm of those with great power. ¹⁰ But not one has said, Where is Eloah, my Maker, Who is giving psalms in the night, ¹¹ Training us by the beasts of the earth, And by the flier of the heavens, He makes us wise? ¹² There they cry (yet He does not answer) Because of the pride of evil men. ¹³ Yea, it is futility; El does not hear, And He Who Suffices does not regard it. ¹⁴ How much less when you complain you are not regarding Him, That adjudication is set before Him, and you are awaiting Him? ¹⁵ And now because He does not visit His anger And does not acknowledge the transgression of humanity, ¹⁶ Job is opening his mouth wide with vanity; He makes declarations abound without knowledge.

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Elihu made answer and said, ² Does it seem to you to be right, and righteousness before God, to say, ³ What profit is it to me, and how am I better off than if I had done wrong? ⁴ I will make answer to you and to your friends: ⁵ Let your eyes be turned to the heavens, and lifted up to see the skies; they are higher than you. ⁶ If you have done wrong, is he any the worse for it? and if your sins are great in number, what is it to him? ⁷ If you are upright, what do you give to him? or what does he take from your hand? ⁸ Your evil-doing may have an effect on a man like yourself, or your righteousness on a son of man. ⁹ Because the hand of the cruel is hard on them, men are making sounds of grief; they are crying out for help because of the arm of the strong. ¹⁰ But no one has said, Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night; ¹¹ Who gives us more knowledge than the beasts of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of the heaven? ¹² There they are crying out because of the pride of the evil-doers, but he gives them no answer. ¹³ But God will not give ear to what is false, or the Ruler of all take note of it; ¹⁴ How much less when you say that you do not see him; that the cause is before him, and you are waiting for him. ¹⁵ And now (UNTRANSLATED TEXT); ¹⁶ And Job's mouth is open wide to give out what is of no profit, increasing words without knowledge.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Elihu answered and said, ² Do you think this to be right, you that say, I am more just than God? ³ For you say, What will it benefit you? And, What good shall I have more than if I had sinned? ⁴ I will answer your words, and your friends with you. ⁵ Look to the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds; they are higher than you. ⁶ If you sin, what do you do against Him? Or if your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to Him? ⁷ If you are righteous, what do you give Him? Or what does He receive from your hand? ⁸ Your wickedness may hurt a man like yourself; and your righteousness may profit the son of man. ⁹ From the host of tyrannies they cry out; they cry out because of the arm of the multitude. ¹⁰ But none says, Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night; ¹¹ who teaches us more than the animals of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens? ¹² There they cry, but He gives no answer, because of the pride of evildoers. ¹³ Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty look on it. ¹⁴ How much less when you say you do not see Him! Judgment is before Him; you are waiting for Him. ¹⁵ And now, because His anger has not visited, and He does not recognize stupidity, ¹⁶ even Job opens his mouth in vanity; he multiplies words without knowledge.

LITV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Elihu answered and said: ² Do you think this to be just, you that say, I am more just than God? ³ For you say, What will it benefit you? What shall I profit more than if I had sinned? ⁴ I will answer your words, and your friends with you. ⁵ Observe the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds, they are higher than you. ⁶ If you sin, what do you do against Him? Or if your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to Him? ⁷ If you are righteous, what do you give to Him? Or what does He receive from your hand? ⁸ Your wickedness is for a man like yourself; and your righteousness may profit a son of man. ⁹ From the host of tyrannies, they cry out; they cry because of the arm of the multitude. ¹⁰ But no one says, Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night, ¹¹ teaching us more than the animals of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens? ¹² There they cry, but He does not answer, because of the pride of evildoers. ¹³ Surely, God will not hear vanity, nor will the Almighty look upon it. ¹⁴ How much less when you say you do not see Him! Judgment is before Him, and you are waiting for Him. ¹⁵ And now, because His anger has not visited, and He does not recognize great stupidity, ¹⁶ even Job vainly opens his mouth; he multiplies words without knowledge.

ECB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Eli Hu answers and says, ² Fabricate you this to be judgment, that you said, My justness is more than of El? ³ that you said, What use is it to you? and, What benefit I from my sin? ⁴ - I respond utterances to you and your friends with you. ⁵ Look to the heavens and see; observe the vapours high above you. ⁶ If you sin, what work you against him? Or if your rebellions be multiplied, what do you to him? ⁷ If you be justified, what give you him? Or what takes he from your hand? ⁸ Your wickedness is for a man as you; and your justness for the son of humanity. ⁹ By reason of the abundance of oppressions they cause to cry out - to cry out by reason of the arm of the great. ¹⁰ And no one says, Where is Elohah my Worker - who gives psalms in the night? ¹¹ - who teaches us more than the animals of the earth? - who enwisens us more than the flyers of the heavens? ¹² There they cry, and he answers not at the face of the pomp of evil. ¹³ Surely El neither hears vanity nor Shadday observes. ¹⁴ Yes, although you say you observe him not, the plea is at his face; writhe in him. ¹⁵ And now, because there is none, he visits his wrath; yet in mighty stupidity, he knows not: ¹⁶ and Iyob gasps his mouth in vain; he weaves utterances without knowledge.

ACV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Moreover Elihu answered, and said, ² What is this thou think in judgment? Who are thou that thou said, I am righteousness before the Lord? ³ That thou said, What advantage will it be to thee? And, What profit shall I have more than if I had sinned? ⁴ I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee. ⁵ Look to the heavens, and see. And behold the skies, which are higher than thou. ⁶ If thou have sinned, what do thou effect against him? And if thy transgressions be multiplied, what do thou to him? ⁷ If thou be righteous, what do thou give him? Or what does he receive of thy hand? ⁸ Thy wickedness is a man as thou are, and thy righteousness is a son of man. ⁹ Because of the multitude of oppressions they cry out. They cry for help because of the arm of the mighty. ¹⁰ But none says, Where is God my maker who gives songs in the night, ¹¹ who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens? ¹² There they cry, but none gives answer, because of the pride of evil men. ¹³ Surely God will not hear an empty cry, nor will the Almighty regard it. ¹⁴ How much less when thou say thou do not behold him. The case is before him, and thou wait for him! ¹⁵ But now, because he has not visited in his anger, nor does he greatly regard folly, ¹⁶ so Job opens his mouth in vanity. He multiplies words without knowledge.

WEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Moreover Elihu answered, ² “Do you think this to be your right, or do you say, ‘My righteousness is more than God’s,’ ³ that you ask, ‘What advantage will it be to you? What profit will I have, more than if I had sinned?’ ⁴ I will answer you, and your companions with you. ⁵ Look to the skies, and see.

If your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him? ⁷ If you are righteous, what do you give him?

EJ2000⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ¶ Elihu proceeded in his reasoning and said, ² Dost thou think this to be right, when thou didst say, I am more righteous than God? ³ For thou didst say, What advantage will it be unto thee?

Or if thy rebellion is multiplied, what doest thou unto him? ⁷ If thou art righteous, what shalt thou give him? Or what shall he receive of thine hand? ⁸ Thy wickedness shall hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness shall profit the son of man. ⁹ ¶ By reason of the great violence they shall call out; they cry out because of the strength of the many. ¹⁰ But no one shall say, Where is God my maker, who gives songs in the night; ¹¹ who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth and makes us wiser than the fowls of heaven? ¹² There they shall cry, but he shall give no answer because of the pride of those that are evil. ¹³ Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty look upon it. ¹⁴ ¶ For much that thou dost say, he will not look upon it, submit to judgment before him, and trust thou in him. ¹⁵ But now, because he has not visited in wrath; nor is it known in great extremity; ¹⁶ therefore, Job opened his mouth in vain and multiplied words without knowledge.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Elihu resumed and said, ² What is this that you think is right?

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Elihu Speaks AgainIn response, Elihu said: ² “Are you saying that it’s just for you to claim, ‘I’m more righteous than God?’ ³ After all, you’ve asked what your benefit will be: ‘What will I profit from refraining from sin?’ ⁴ I’m going to respond to that statement, and to your friends with you.”
⁵ God’s Justice Remains Unsullied“Observe the heavens! Take a look around! Look! The clouds are higher than you, aren’t they? ⁶ If you sin, what will that do to harm him? If you add transgression to transgression what will it do to him? ⁷ If you are righteous, what will you add to him? What can God receive from your efforts? ⁸ Your wickedness affects only yourself; and your righteousness, only human beings. ⁹ “They cry out because they have many oppressors; they cry for help because the powerful are abusing them. ¹⁰ He never asks, ‘Where is God, my Creator, who gives me songs in the night, ¹¹ who teaches us more than the earth’s wild animals, and makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?’ ¹² “They cry out there, but he doesn’t answer because of the arrogance of those who practice evil. ¹³ Theirs is a useless plea— God won’t listen; the Almighty won’t pay any attention. ¹⁴ Even though you complain that you can’t perceive him, your case is already pending for judgment in his presence so keep on placing your hope in him. ¹⁵ “So now, if he doesn’t inflict punishment in his anger, then he doesn’t keep track of your many transgressions. ¹⁶ When he began speaking, he communicated only worthlessness; he added words upon words without knowing anything.”

LEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Moreover,* Elihu _⌊spoke up_⌋* and said, ² "Do you think this is justice when you say, '_⌊I am right_⌋* before God'? ³ If you ask what it profits you: 'How do I benefit _⌊by refraining from my sin_⌋?'* ⁴ I myself* _⌊will give answer to you_⌋* and to your friends with you. ⁵ "Look at the heavens, and see; and observe the clouds that are higher than you. ⁶ If you have sinned, what do you accomplish against him? And if your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him? ⁷ If you are righteous, what do you give to him, or what does he receive from your hand? ⁸ Your wickedness affects a person like yourself, and your righteousness affects humans. ⁹ "Because of the multitude of oppressions, they cry out; they cry for help because of the arm of the mighty. ¹⁰ But* no one says, 'Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night, ¹¹ who teaches us more than the animals of the earth and makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?' ¹² There they cry out, but* he does not answer _⌊because of the pride of evildoers_⌋.* ¹³ "Surely God does not hear an empty plea, and Shaddai does not regard it. ¹⁴ _⌊How much less_⌋* when you say that you do not see him, that the case is _⌊before him_⌋,* and you are waiting for him! ¹⁵ But* now, because his anger does not punish, and he does not acknowledge the transgression at all, ¹⁶ _⌊therefore_⌋* Job opens his mouth in empty talk— without knowledge he multiplies words."

BSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Elihu went on to say: ² “Do you think this is just? You say, ‘I am more righteous than God.’ ³ For you ask, ‘What does it profit me, and what benefit do I gain apart from sin?’ ⁴ I will reply to you and to your friends as well. ⁵ Look to the heavens and see; gaze at the clouds high above you. ⁶ If you sin, what do you accomplish against Him? If you multiply your transgressions, what do you do to Him? ⁷ If you are righteous, what do you give Him, or what does He receive from your hand? ⁸ Your wickedness affects only a man like yourself, and your righteousness only a son of man. ⁹ Men cry out under great oppression; they plead for relief from the arm of the mighty. ¹⁰ But no one asks, ‘Where is God my Maker, who gives us songs in the night, ¹¹ who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth and makes us wiser than the birds of the air?’ ¹² There they cry out, but He does not answer, because of the pride of evil men. ¹³ Surely God does not listen to empty pleas, and the Almighty does not take note of it. ¹⁴ How much less, then, when you say that you do not see Him, that your case is before Him and you must wait for Him, ¹⁵ and further, that in His anger He has not punished or taken much notice of folly! ¹⁶ So Job opens his mouth in vain and multiplies words without knowledge.”

MSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Elihu went on to say: ² “Do you think this is just?

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Moreover Elihu answered and said, ² What is this you think in judgment? Who are you that you said, I am righteousness before the Lord? ³ That you said, What advantage will it be to you? And, What profit shall I have more than if I had sinned? ⁴ I will answer you and your companions with you.
⁵ Look to the heavens and see. And behold the skies, which are higher than you. ⁶ If you have sinned, what do you effect against him? And if your transgressions be multiplied, what do you to him? ⁷ If you are righteous, what do you give him? Or what does he receive of your hand?
⁸ Your wickedness is a man as you are and your righteousness is a son of man. ⁹ Because of the multitude of oppressions they cry out. They cry for help because of the arm of the mighty.
¹⁰ But none says, Where is God my maker who gives songs in the night, ¹¹ who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth and makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens? ¹² There they cry, but none gives answer, because of the pride of evil men.
¹³ Surely God will not hear an empty cry, nor will the Almighty regard it. ¹⁴ How much less when you say that you do not behold him. The case is before him and you wait for him!
¹⁵ But now, because he has not visited in his anger, nor does he regard transgression well, ¹⁶ so Job opens his mouth in vanity. He multiplies words without knowledge.

VIN⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ In response, Elihu said: ² "Do you think this to be just?

Luther1545⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Und Elihu antwortete und sprach: ² Achtest du das für recht, daß du sprichst: Ich bin gerechter denn Gott? ³ Denn du sprichst: Wer gilt bei dir etwas? Was hilft's, ob ich mich ohne Sünde mache? ⁴ Ich will dir antworten ein Wort und deinen Freunden mit dir. ⁵ Schaue gen Himmel und siehe, und schaue an die Wolken, daß sie dir zu hoch sind. ⁶ Sündigest du, was kannst du mit ihm machen?

4 H589 Ik H4405 zal u antwoord H7725 H8686 geven H7453 , en uw vrienden H5973 met u.

Giguet⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ¶ Et Elihou, continuant dit: ² Qu’as-tu pensé obtenir d’un jugement? Qui es-tu, toi qui as osé dire: Je suis juste devant le Seigneur? ³ Quand tu dis: En quoi pécherai-je? ⁴ Vous allez entendre la réponse, toi et tes trois amis. ⁵ Lève les yeux au ciel et regarde; les nuées t’enseigneront combien les choses d’en haut sont loin de toi. ⁶ Si tu pèches, quel danger court le Seigneur? Si tes fautes sont nombreuses, que pourras-tu faire contre lui? ⁷ Si tu es juste, qu’en revient-il à Dieu? Que prendra-t-il de ta main? ⁸ C’est l’homme, ton semblable, que ton impiété touche; c’est le fils de l’homme qu’intéresse ta justice. ⁹ ¶ Les gens de mauvaise foi se plaindront de tout; ils crieront à l’oppression, à la violence. ¹⁰ Et nul d’entre eux n’a dit: Où est Dieu, mon créateur, qui a mis en ordre les astres de la nuit, ¹¹ Qui m’a distingué des bêtes de la terre et des oiseaux du ciel? ¹² Ils crieront et il n’entendra pas; et ils se plaindront des outrages des méchants. ¹³ Mais le Seigneur, le seul Tout-Puissant refuse de jeter un regard sur les choses vaines. ¹⁴ ¶ Il voit tous ceux qui commettent des iniquités, et il me sauvera; soumets-toi à sa justice; puisses-tu le louer tel qu’il est maintenant pour toi. ¹⁵ Car nul n’a le droit d’examiner sa colère ni de présumer qu’il fait quelque faux pas. ¹⁶ Job a donc témérairement ouvert la bouche, et son courroux provient de son ignorance des choses.

DarbyFR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹
Et Élihu reprit la parole et dit: ² Penses-tu que ceci soit fondé, que tu aies dit: Je suis plus juste que *Dieu? ³ Car tu as demandé quel profit tu en as: Quel avantage en ai-je de plus que si j'avais péché? ⁴ Je te répliquerai, moi, par des paroles, et à tes amis avec toi: ⁵ Regarde les cieux et vois, et contemple les nuées: elles sont plus hautes que toi. ⁶ Si tu pèches, quel tort lui causes-tu? et si tes transgressions se multiplient, que lui as-tu fait? ⁷ Si tu es juste, que lui donnes-tu, ou que reçoit-il de ta main? ⁸ Pour un homme comme toi ta méchanceté peut être quelque chose, et pour un fils d'homme, ta justice. ⁹
On crie à cause de la multitude des oppressions, et on appelle au secours à cause du bras des grands; ¹⁰ Et on ne dit pas: Où est +Dieu, mon créateur, qui donne des chants de joie dans la nuit, ¹¹ Qui nous rend plus instruits que les bêtes de la terre, et plus sages que les oiseaux des cieux? ¹² Alors on crie, et il ne répond pas, à cause de l'orgueil des méchants. ¹³ Certainement ce qui est vanité *Dieu ne l'écoute pas, et le Tout-puissant ne le regarde pas. ¹⁴
Quoique tu dises que tu ne le vois pas, le jugement est devant lui; attends-le donc. ¹⁵ Et maintenant, si sa colère n'a pas encore visité, Job ne connaît-il pas sa grande arrogance? ¹⁶ Et Job ouvre sa bouche vainement; il entasse des paroles sans science.

Martin⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Elihu poursuivit encore son discours, et dit : ² As-tu pensé rendre ta cause bonne, quand tu as dit : Ma justice est au-dessus de celle du Dieu Fort ? ³ Si tu demandes de quoi elle te profitera, disant : Que m'en reviendra-t-il, de même que de mon péché ? ⁴ Je te répondrai en ces termes, et à tes amis qui sont avec toi. ⁵ Regarde les cieux, et les contemple; vois les nuées, elles sont plus hautes que toi. ⁶ Si tu pèches, quel mal fais-tu à Dieu ? et quand tes péchés se multiplieront, quel mal en recevra-t-il ? ⁷ Si tu es juste, que lui donnes-tu ? et qu'est-ce qu'il reçoit de ta main ? ⁸ C'est à un homme, comme tu es, que ta méchanceté peut nuire; et c'est au fils d'un homme que ta justice peut être utile. ⁹ On fait crier les opprimés par la grandeur des maux qu'on leur fait; ils crient à cause de la violence des grands. ¹⁰ Et on ne dit point : où est le Dieu qui m'a fait, et qui donne de quoi chanter pendant la nuit; ¹¹ Qui nous rend plus éclairés que les animaux de la terre, et plus intelligents que les oiseaux des cieux ? ¹² On crie donc à cause de la fierté des méchants; mais Dieu ne les exauce point. ¹³ Cependant tu ne dois pas dire que ce soit en vain; que le Dieu Fort n'écoute point, et que le Tout-puissant n'y a nul égard. ¹⁴ Encore moins lui dois-tu dire; tu ne le vois point; car le jugement est devant lui; attends-le donc. ¹⁵ Mais maintenant, ce n'est rien ce que sa colère exécute, et il n'est point entré fort avant en connaissance de toutes les choses que tu as faites. ¹⁶ Job donc a ouvert sans raison sa bouche pour se plaindre, et il a entassé paroles sur paroles, sans connaissance.

Segond⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Elihu reprit et dit: ² Imagines-tu avoir raison, Penses-tu te justifier devant Dieu, ³ Quand tu dis: Que me sert-il, Que me revient-il de ne pas pécher? ⁴ C'est à toi que je vais répondre, Et à tes amis en même temps. ⁵ Considère les cieux, et regarde! Vois les nuées, comme elles sont au-dessus de toi! ⁶ Si tu pèches, quel tort lui causes-tu? Et quand tes péchés se multiplient, que lui fais-tu? ⁷ Si tu es juste, que lui donnes-tu? Que reçoit-il de ta main? ⁸ Ta méchanceté ne peut nuire qu'à ton semblable, Ta justice n'est utile qu'au fils de l'homme. ⁹ On crie contre la multitude des oppresseurs, On se plaint de la violence d'un grand nombre; ¹⁰ Mais nul ne dit: Où est Dieu, mon créateur, Qui inspire des chants d'allégresse pendant la nuit, ¹¹ Qui nous instruit plus que les bêtes de la terre, Et nous donne l'intelligence plus qu'aux oiseaux du ciel? ¹² On a beau crier alors, Dieu ne répond pas, A cause de l'orgueil des méchants. ¹³ C'est en vain que l'on crie, Dieu n'écoute pas, Le Tout-Puissant n'y a point égard. ¹⁴ Bien que tu dises que tu ne le vois pas, Ta cause est devant lui: attends-le! ¹⁵ Mais, parce que sa colère ne sévit point encore, Ce n'est pas à dire qu'il ait peu souci du crime. ¹⁶ Ainsi Job ouvre vainement la bouche, Il multiplie les paroles sans intelligence.

Albanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Elihu vazhdoi të flasë dhe tha: ² "A të duket një gjë e drejtë kur thua: "Jam më i drejtë se Perëndia"? ³ Në fakt ke thënë: "Ç'dobi ke? Çfarë dobie do të kisha nga mëkati im?". ⁴ Do të të përgjigjem ty dhe miqve të tu bashkë me ty. ⁵ Sodite qiellin dhe shiko me kujdes; shih retë, që ndodhen më lart se ti. ⁶ Në qoftë se ti mëkaton, çfarë efekti ka mbi të? Në qoftë se ti i shumëzon prapësitë e tua çfarë dëmi i shkakton? ⁷ Në rast se je i drejtë, çfarë i jep, ose çfarë merr ai nga dora jote? ⁸ Ligësia jote mund të dëmtojë vetëm një njeri si ti, dhe drejtësia jote mundet t'i sjellë vetëm dobi birit të një njeriu. ⁹ Ngrihet zëri për numrin e madh të shtypjeve, ngrihet zëri për të kërkuar ndihmë për shkak të dhunës së të fuqishmëve; ¹⁰ por asnjeri nuk thotë: "Ku është Perëndia, krijuesi im, që natën të jep këngë gëzimi, ¹¹ që na mëson më tepër gjëra se sa kafshëve të fushave dhe na bën më të urtë se zogjtë e qiellit?" ¹² Kështu ngrihen zëra, por ai nuk përgjigjet për shkak të krenarisë së njerëzve të këqij. ¹³ Me siguri Perëndia nuk ka për t'i dëgjuar ligjëratat boshe dhe i Plotfuqishmi nuk do t'jua vërë veshin. ¹⁴ Edhe sikur ti të thuash se nuk e shikon atë, çështja jote qëndron para tij, dhe ti duhet të presësh. ¹⁵ Por tani, duke qenë se në zemërimin e tij ai nuk dënon dhe nuk u jep shumë rëndësi shkeljeve, ¹⁶ Jobi hap kot buzët dhe mbledh fjalë që nuk kanë arsye".

RST⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ И продолжал Елиуй и сказал: ² считаешь ли ты справедливым, что сказал: я правее Бога? ³ Ты сказал: что пользы мне? и какую прибыль я имел бы пред тем, как если бы я и грешил? ⁴ Я отвечу тебе и твоим друзьям с тобою: ⁵ взгляни на небо и смотри; воззри на облака, они выше тебя. ⁶ Если ты грешишь, что делаешь ты Ему? и если преступления твои умножаются, что причиняешь ты Ему? ⁷ Если ты праведен, что даешь Ему? или что получает Он от руки твоей? ⁸ Нечестие твое относится к человеку, как ты, и праведность твоя к сыну человеческому. ⁹ От множества притеснителей стонут притесняемые, и от руки сильных вопиют. ¹⁰ Но никто не говорит: где Бог, Творец мой, Который дает песни в ночи, ¹¹ Который научает нас более, нежели скотов земных, и вразумляет нас более, нежели птицнебесных? ¹² Там они вопиют, и Он не отвечает им, по причине гордости злых людей. ¹³ Но неправда, что Бог не слышит и Вседержитель не взирает на это. ¹⁴ Хотя ты сказал, что ты не видишь Его, но суд пред Ним, и – жди его. ¹⁵ Но ныне, потому что гнев Его не посетил его и он не познал его во всей строгости, ¹⁶ Иов и открыл легкомысленно уста свои и безрассудно расточает слова.

Arabic⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ فاجاب اليهو وقال ² أتحسب هذا حقا. قلت انا ابر من الله. ³ لانك قلت ماذا يفيدك بماذا انتفع اكثر من خطيتي. ⁴ انا ارد عليك كلاما وعلى اصحابك معك. ⁵ انظر الى السموات وابصر ولاحظ الغمام انها اعلى منك. ⁶ ان اخطأت فماذا فعلت به وان كثرت معاصيك فماذا عملت له. ⁷ ان كنت بارا فماذا اعطيته او ماذا ياخذه من يدك. ⁸ لرجل مثلك شرك ولابن آدم برك ⁹ من كثرة المظالم يصرخون. يستغيثون من ذراع الاعزاء. ¹⁰ ولم يقولوا اين الله صانعي مؤتي الاغاني في الليل. ¹¹ الذي يعلمنا اكثر من وحوش الارض ويجعلنا احكم من طيور السماء. ¹² ثم يصرخون من كبرياء الاشرار ولا يستجيب. ¹³ ولكن الله لا يسمع كذبا والقدير لا ينظر اليه. ¹⁴ فاذا قلت انك لست تراه فالدعوى قدامه فاصبر له. ¹⁵ واما الآن فلأن غضبه لا يطالب ولا يبالي بكثرة الزلات ¹⁶ فغر ايوب فاه بالباطل وكبر الكلام بلا معرفة

Bulgarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Тогава Елиу продължи и каза: ² Смяташ ли това за право? Ти казваш: Моята правда е по-голяма от Божията. ³ Защото ти питаш какво ще те ползва: Какво ще спечеля, че не съм съгрешил? ⁴ Аз ще ти отговоря, и на приятелите ти с теб: ⁵ Погледни към небето и виж, гледай облаците — колко по-високи са от теб! ⁶ Ако съгрешаваш, какво вършиш против Него? Ако престъпленията ти се умножават, какво на Него правиш? ⁷ Ако си праведен, какво Му даваш? Или какво получава Той от твоята ръка? ⁸ Безбожието ти засяга само човек като теб и правдата ти — само човешки син. ⁹ Поради множеството угнетения викат страдащите, викат за помощ поради ръката на могъщите. ¹⁰ Но никой не казва: Къде е Бог, моят Създател, който дава песни в нощта, ¹¹ който ни учи повече от зверовете земни и ни прави по-мъдри от птиците небесни? ¹² Там те викат, но Той не отговаря заради гордостта на злите. ¹³ Наистина Бог няма да послуша празнословие и Всемогъщият няма да го зачете. ¹⁴ Въпреки че казваш, че не можеш да Го видиш, пак правосъдието е пред Него, и на Него се уповавай. ¹⁵ И сега, понеже не е наказал в гнева Си, не знае ли Той за надменността? ¹⁶ Затова Йов отваря устата си напразно и трупа думи без знание.

Croatian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Elihu nastavi svoju besjedu i reče: ² "Zar ti misliš da pravo svoje braniš, da pravednost pred Bogom dokazuješ, ³ kada mu kažeš: 'Što ti je to važno, i ako griješim, što ti činim time?' ⁴ Na sve to ja ću odgovorit' tebi i prijateljima tvojim ujedno. ⁵ Po nebu se obazri i promatraj! Gledaj oblake: od tebe su viši! ⁶ Ako griješiš, što si mu uradio, prijestupom svojim što si mu zadao? ⁷ Ako si prav, što si dodao njemu i što iz ruke tvoje on dobiva? ⁸ Opakost tvoja tebi slične pogađa i pravda tvoja čovjeku koristi. ⁹ Ali kad ispod teškog stenju jarma, kad vapiju na nasilje moćnika, ¹⁰ nitko ne kaže: 'Gdje je Bog, moj tvorac, koji noć pjesmom veselom ispunja, ¹¹ umnijim nas od zvijeri zemskih čini i mudrijima od ptica nebeskih?' ¹² Tad vapiju, al' on ne odgovara poradi oholosti zlikovaca. ¹³ Ali kako je isprazno tvrditi da Bog njihove ne čuje vapaje, da pogled na njih ne svraća Svesilni! ¹⁴ A kamoli tek kada ti govoriš: 'On ne vidi mene, parnica moja pred njime stoji, a ja na nj još čekam.' ¹⁵ Ili: 'Njegova srdžba ne kažnjava, nimalo on za prijestupe ne mari.' ¹⁶ Isprazno tada otvara Job usta i besjede gomila nerazumne."

BKR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Ještě mluvil Elihu, a řekl: ² Domníváš-liž se, že jsi to s soudem řekl: Spravedlnost má převyšuje Boží? ³ Nebo jsi řekl: Co mi prospěje, jaký užitek budu míti, bych i nehřešil? ⁴ Já odpovím tobě místně, i tovaryšům tvým s tebou. ⁵ Pohleď na nebe a viz, anobrž spatř oblaky, vyšší, než-lis ty. ⁶ Jestliže bys hřešil, co svedeš proti němu? A byť se i rozmnožily nešlechetnosti tvé, co mu uškodíš? ⁷ Budeš-li spravedlivý, čeho mu udělíš? Aneb co z ruky tvé vezme? ⁸ Každémuť člověku bezbožnost jeho uškodí, a synu člověka spravedlnost jeho prospěje. ⁹ Z množství nátisk trpících, kteréž k tomu přivodí, aby úpěli a křičeli pro ukrutnost povýšených, ¹⁰ Žádný neříká: Kde jest Bůh stvořitel můj? Ješto on dává zpěv i v noci. ¹¹ On vyučuje nás nad hovada zemská, a nad ptactvo nebeské moudřejší nás činí. ¹² Tehdáž volají-li pro pýchu zlých, nebývají vyslyšáni. ¹³ A jistě žeť ošemetnosti nevyslýchá Bůh silný, a Všemohoucí nepatří na ni. ¹⁴ Mnohem méně, jestliže díš: Nepatříš na to. Sám s sebou vejdi v soud před ním, a doufej v něho. ¹⁵ Ale nyní poněvadž nic není těch věcí, navštívil jej hněv jeho; nebo nechce znáti hojnosti této veliké. ¹⁶ A protož marně Job otvírá ústa svá, hloupě rozmnožuje řeči své.

Danish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Og Elihu svarede fremdeles og sagde: ² Holder du dette for Ret - du sagde jo: Jeg er retfærdigere end Gud - ³ at du siger: Hvad gavner det dig hvad Gavn har jeg deraf, fremfor om jeg syndede? ⁴ Jeg vil give Svar til dig og til dine Venner med dig: ⁵ Sku Himmelen og se og betragt Skyerne; de ere højt over dig. ⁶ Dersom du har syndet, hvad kan du gøre imod ham? og ere dine Overtrædelser mange, hvad kan du volde ham? ⁷ Dersom du er retfærdig, hvad kan du give ham? eller hvad skal han modtage af din Haand? ⁸ Et Menneske, som du er, vedkommer din Ugudelighed, og et Menneskes Barn din Retfærdighed. ⁹ Over de mangfoldige Undertrykkelser raaber man, skriger om Hjælp imod de mægtiges Arm. ¹⁰ Men ingen siger: Hvor er Gud, som skabte mig, han, som giver Lovsange om Natten; ¹¹ som belærer os fremfor Dyrene paa Jorden og gør os visere end Fuglene under Himmelen? ¹² Der raabe de, men han svarer ikke, for de ondes Hovmods Skyld. ¹³ Kun Forfængelighed hører Gud ikke, og den Almægtige agter ikke derpaa. ¹⁴ Ogsaa naar du siger, du skuer ham ikke, saa er Dommen alt for hans Ansigt, derfor vent paa ham! ¹⁵ Men nu, fordi hans Vrede ikke hjemsøger, og han ikke agter stort paa Overmodet: ¹⁶ Saa oplader Job sin Mund med Forfængelighed, han gør Ordene mangfoldige uden Forstand.

CUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ 以利戶又說： ² 你以為有理，或以為你的公義勝於神的公義， ³ 纔說這與我有甚麼益處？我不犯罪比犯罪有甚麼好處呢？ ⁴ 我要回答你和在你這裡的朋友。 ⁵ 你要向天觀看，瞻望那高於你的穹蒼。 ⁶ 你若犯罪，能使神受何害呢？你的過犯加增，能使神受何損呢？ ⁷ 你若是公義，還能加增他甚麼呢？他從你手裡還接受甚麼呢？ ⁸ 你的過惡或能害你這類的人；你的公義或能叫世人得益處。 ⁹ 人因多受欺壓就哀求，因受能者的轄制（原文是膀臂）便求救， ¹⁰ 卻無人說：造我的神在那裡？他使人夜間歌唱， ¹¹ 教訓我們勝於地上的走獸，使我們有聰明勝於空中的飛鳥。 ¹² 他們在那裡，因惡人的驕傲呼求，卻無人答應。 ¹³ 虛妄的呼求，神必不垂聽；全能者也必不眷顧。 ¹⁴ 何況你說，你不得見他；你的案件在他面前，你等候他罷。 ¹⁵ 但如今因他未曾發怒降罰，也不甚理會狂傲， ¹⁶ 所以約伯開口說虛妄的話，多發無知識的言語。

Esperanto⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Elihu parolis plue, kaj diris: ² CXu tion vi opinias justa, ke vi diras: Mi estas pli prava ol Dio? ³ CXar vi diras:Kiom tio utilas al vi? Kian profiton mi havas kompare kun tiu okazo, se mi pekus? ⁴ Mi respondos al vi, Kaj kune ankaux al viaj amikoj: ⁵ Rigardu la cxielon, kaj vidu; Rigardu la nubojn, kiel tro alte ili estas por vi. ⁶ Se vi pekas, kiom vi malutilas al Li? Kaj se viaj malbonagoj estas multaj, kion vi faras al Li? ⁷ Se vi estas virta, kion vi donas al Li? Aux kion Li prenas el via mano? ⁸ Al homo, simila al vi, povas ion fari via malbonago, Kaj via virteco havas signifon nur por homido. ⁹ Pro multe da premado oni krias; Oni gxemas pro la brako de potenculoj. ¹⁰ Sed oni ne diras:Kie estas Dio, kiu min kreis, Kiu donas kantojn en la nokto, ¹¹ Kiu instruas nin pli ol la brutojn sur la tero, Prudentigas nin pli ol la birdojn de la cxielo? ¹² Tie ili krias pri la fiereco de la malbonuloj, Sed Li ne respondas. ¹³ Tamen malvere estas, ke Dio ne auxdas Kaj ke la Plejpotenculo ne vidas. ¹⁴ Kvankam vi diras, ke vi Lin ne vidas, Ekzistas tamen jugxo cxe Li; Kaj vi atendu Lin. ¹⁵ Sed cxar Li nun ne montras Sian koleron Kaj ne atentas la tro grandan malvirtecon, ¹⁶ Tial Ijob vante malfermis sian busxon Kaj tre multe parolas malprudente.

Finnish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Ja Elihu vastasi ja sanoi: ² Luuletkos sen oikiaksi, ettäs sanot: minä olen hurskaampi Jumalaa? ³ Sillä sinä sanot: mitä siitä hyvää on, mitä se auttaa, jos joku välttää syntiä? ⁴ Minä vastaan sinua sanoilla, ja sinun ystäviäs sinun kanssas. ⁵ Katso taivaasen ja näe, ja katso pilviin, että ne ovat korkiammat sinua. ⁶ Jos sinä syntiä teet, mitäs taidat hänelle tehdä? ja jos sinun pahuutes on suuri, mitäs taidat hänelle tehdä? ⁷ Ja jos sinä olet hurskas, mitäs taidat hänelle antaa? eli mitä hän ottaa sinun kädestäs? ⁸ Ihmiselle sinun kaltaiselles tekee sinun pahuutes jotakin, ja ihmisen lapselle sinun hurskautes. ⁹ Ne huutavat, kuin heille paljo väkivaltaa tapahtuu, ja valittavat voimallisten käsivartta, ¹⁰ Jotka ei sano: Kussa on Jumala, minun Luojani, joka yöllä tekee virret? ¹¹ Joka meitä tekee oppineemmaksi eläimiä maan päällä, ja taitavammaksi taivaan lintuja. ¹² Mutta he valittavat pahain ylpeyttä; ja ei hän kuule heitä. ¹³ Sillä ei jumala kuule turhaa, ja Kaikkivaltias ei katso sitä. ¹⁴ Nyt sinä sanot: et sinä näe häntä; mutta tuomio on hänen edessänsä, vaan odota häntä. ¹⁵ Jos ei hänen vihansa niin äkisti kosta, ja ei ole tietävinänsä, että siinä niin monta rikosta on; ¹⁶ Sentähden on Job turhaan suunsa avannut ja taitamattomia puheita puhunut.

FinnishPR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Elihu lausui ja sanoi: ² "Pidätkö sitä oikeutena, sanotko sitä vanhurskaudeksi Jumalan edessä, ³ että kysyt, mitä se sinua hyödyttää: 'Hyödynkö siitä sen enempää, kuin jos syntiä teen?' ⁴ Siihen minä vastaan sinulle sekä ystävillesi, jotka luonasi ovat. ⁵ Luo silmäsi taivaalle ja näe, katsele pilviä, jotka ovat korkealla pääsi päällä. ⁶ Jos sinä syntiä teet, mitä sillä hänelle teet; ja vaikka sinulla paljonkin rikoksia olisi, mitä sillä hänelle mahdat? ⁷ Jos olet vanhurskas, mitä sillä hänelle annat, tahi ottaako hän mitään sinun kädestäsi? ⁸ Ihmistä, kaltaistasi, koskee jumalattomuutesi ja ihmislasta sinun vanhurskautesi. ⁹ Sorron suuruutta valitetaan, huudetaan apua suurten käsivartta vastaan, ¹⁰ ei kysytä: 'Missä on Jumala, minun Luojani, joka yöllä saa viriämään ylistysvirret, ¹¹ joka opettaa meille enemmän kuin metsän eläimille ja antaa meille viisautta enemmän kuin taivaan linnuille?' ¹² Valittakoot sitten pahojen ylpeyttä; ei hän vastaa. ¹³ Ei, turhia ei Jumala kuule, eikä Kaikkivaltias niihin katso, ¹⁴ saati jos sanot, ettet voi häntä nähdä; asia on hänen edessänsä: odota häntä. ¹⁵ Mutta nyt, kun hänen vihansa ei kosta eikä hän ylvästelystä suuresti välitä, ¹⁶ niin Job avaa suunsa joutaviin ja syytää suuria sanoja taitamattomasti."

Haitian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Eliyou pran lapawòl ankò, li di: ² -Pa konprann ou gen rezon lè w'ap di ou inonsan devan Bondye, ³ lè w'ap di Bondye: Ki mele ou sa? M' te mèt peche, sa pa fè ou anyen. ⁴ Enben. Mwen pral reponn ou, ni ou ni zanmi ou yo. ⁵ Gade syèl la! Ou wè jan nwaj yo wo anwo tèt ou! ⁶ Si ou fè peche, sa pa fè Bondye anyen! Ou te mèt fè peche sou peche, sa pa di l' anyen? ⁷ Si ou mache dwat, ki avantaj Bondye jwenn nan sa? Kisa ou ba li la a? ⁸ Se moun parèy ou ki soufri lè ou fè sa ki mal. Se yo ki pwofite tou lè ou fè sa ki dwat. ⁹ Lè moun ap sibi anba ponyèt lòt moun, yo plenyen. Lè se chèf k'ap peze yo, yo rele. ¹⁰ Men, yo pa vire kote Bondye ki kreye yo a. Yo te mèt nan nenpòt gwo lapenn, se li menm k'ap ba yo kouraj. ¹¹ Yo pa vire kote Bondye ki ba yo plis lespri pase bèt nan bwa, plis bon konprann pase zwezo nan syèl la. ¹² Yo rele kont rele yo, Bondye pa reponn yo, paske mechan yo gen lògèy. ¹³ Se pou gremesi y'ap plede rele konsa. Bondye pa tande, li pa wè. ¹⁴ Jòb monchè, ou di ou pa ka wè Bondye. Men, ou mete ka ou devan li. ¹⁵ Ou di ankò: Bondye pa nan pini.

Hungarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Tovább is felele Elihu, és monda: ² Azt gondolod-é igaznak, ha így szólsz: Az én igazságom nagyobb, mint Istené? ³ Hogyha ezt mondod: Mi hasznod belõle? Mivel várhatok többet, mintha vétkezném? ⁴ Én megadom rá néked a feleletet, és barátaidnak te veled együtt. ⁵ Tekints az égre és lásd meg; és nézd meg a fellegeket, milyen magasan vannak feletted! ⁶ Hogyha vétkezel, mit tehetsz ellene; ha megsokasítod bûneidet, mit ártasz néki? ⁷ Ha igaz vagy, mit adsz néki, avagy mit kap a te kezedbõl? ⁸ Az olyan embernek [árt] a te gonoszságod, mint te vagy, és igazságod az ilyen ember fiának [használ.] ⁹ A sok erõszak miatt kiáltoznak; jajgatnak a hatalmasok karja miatt; ¹⁰ De egy sem mondja: Hol van Isten, az én teremtõm, a ki hálaénekre indít éjszaka; ¹¹ A ki többre tanít minket a mezei vadaknál, és bölcsebbekké tesz az ég madarainál? ¹² Akkor azután kiálthatnak, de õ nem felel a gonoszok kevélysége miatt; ¹³ Mert a hiábavalóságot Isten meg nem hallgatja, a Mindenható arra nem tekint. ¹⁴ Hátha még azt mondod: Te nem látod õt; az ügy elõtte van és te reá vársz! ¹⁵ Most pedig, mivel nem büntet haragja, és nem figyelmez a nagy álnokságra: ¹⁶ Azért tátja fel Jób hívságra a száját, [és] szaporítja a szót értelem nélkül.

Indonesian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Ayub, engkau keliru jika menyangka bahwa di mata Allah engkau tak bersalah. ² (35:1) ³ Engkau khilaf jika bertanya, apa pengaruh dosamu terhadap-Nya; dan keuntungan apa yang kauterima kalau engkau tidak berbuat dosa. ⁴ Akulah yang akan memberi jawaban kepadamu dan juga kepada teman-temanmu itu. ⁵ Lihatlah ke langit dan perhatikan betapa tingginya awan-awan. ⁶ Jika engkau berdosa, Allah tidak akan rugi. Jika salahmu banyak, Ia tak terpengaruhi. ⁷ Dengan berbuat baik, Allah tidak kaubantu. Sungguh, Ia tak memerlukan apa pun darimu. ⁸ Hanya sesamamu yang dirugikan oleh dosa-dosamu. Dia juga yang beruntung oleh kebaikanmu. ⁹ Orang-orang yang ditindas, akan mengerang; mereka berteriak minta pertolongan. ¹⁰ Tetapi bukan kepada Allah, Penciptanya yang memberi harapan di kala mereka berduka, ¹¹ dan yang memberi manusia akal budi melebihi burung dan hewan di bumi. ¹² Orang-orang tertindas itu berseru, tetapi Allah diam karena mereka jahat dan penuh kesombongan. ¹³ Sia-sialah mereka berteriak sekuat tenaga; Yang Mahakuasa tidak melihat atau mendengar mereka. ¹⁴ Ayub, lebih-lebih lagi kalau engkau berkata bahwa engkau tidak melihat Dia, bahwa perkaramu sudah ada di hadapan-Nya dan engkau menanti-nantikan Dia! ¹⁵ Sangkamu Allah tidak memberi hukuman dan tidak memperhatikan pelanggaran. ¹⁶ Sia-sialah pembicaraanmu engkau teruskan; jelaslah, engkau tak tahu apa yang kaukatakan.

Italian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ED Elihu proseguì il suo ragionamento, e disse: ² Hai tu stimato che ciò convenga alla ragione, Della quale tu hai detto: La mia giustizia è da Dio, ³ Di dire: Che mi gioverà ella? Che profitto ne avrò più che del mio peccato? ⁴ Io ti risponderò, Ed a’ tuoi compagni teco. ⁵ Riguarda i cieli, e vedi; E mira le nuvole, quanto sono più alte di te. ⁶ Se tu pecchi, che cosa opererai tu contro a lui? E se i tuoi misfatti son moltiplicati, che gli farai tu? ⁷ Se tu sei giusto, che cosa gli darai? Ovvero che prenderà egli dalla tua mano? ⁸ Come la tua malvagità può nuocer solo ad un uomo simile a te, Così anche la tua giustizia non può giovare se non ad un figliuolo d’uomo. ⁹ Gli oppressati gridano per la grandezza dell’oppressione, E dànno alte strida per la violenza de’ grandi; ¹⁰ Ma niuno dice: Ove è Dio, mio fattore, Il quale dà materia di cantar di notte? ¹¹ Il qual ci ammaestra più che le bestie della terra, E ci rende savi più che gli uccelli del cielo? ¹² Quivi adunque gridano, ed egli non li esaudisce, Per la superbia de’ malvagi. ¹³ Certamente Iddio non esaudisce la vanità, E l’Onnipotente non la riguarda. ¹⁴ Quanto meno esaudirà egli te, che dici che tu nol riguardi? Giudicati nel suo cospetto, e poi aspettalo. ¹⁵ Certo ora quello che l’ira sua ti ha imposto di castigo è come nulla; Ed egli non ha preso conoscenza della moltitudine de’ tuoi peccati molto innanzi. ¹⁶ Giobbe adunque indarno apre la sua bocca, Ed accumula parole senza conoscimento.

ItalianRiveduta⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Poi Elihu riprese il discorso e disse: ² "Credi tu d’aver ragione quando dici: "Dio non si cura della mia giustizia"? ³ Infatti hai detto: "Che mi giova? che guadagno io di più a non peccare?" ⁴ Io ti darò la risposta: a te ed agli amici tuoi. ⁵ Considera i cieli, e vedi! guarda le nuvole, come sono più in alto di te! ⁶ Se pecchi, che torto gli fai? Se moltiplichi i tuoi misfatti, che danno gli rechi? ⁷ Se sei giusto, che gli dài? Che ricev’egli dalla tua mano? ⁸ La tua malvagità non nuoce che al tuo simile, e la tua giustizia non giova che ai figli degli uomini. ⁹ Si grida per le molte oppressioni, si levano lamenti per la violenza dei grandi; ¹⁰ ma nessuno dice: "Dov’è Dio, il mio creatore, che nella notte concede canti di gioia, ¹¹ che ci fa più intelligenti delle bestie de’ campi e più savi degli uccelli del cielo?" ¹² Si grida, sì, ma egli non risponde, a motivo della superbia dei malvagi. ¹³ Certo, Dio non dà ascolto a lamenti vani; l’Onnipotente non ne fa nessun caso. ¹⁴ E tu, quando dici che non lo scorgi, la causa tua gli sta dinanzi; sappilo aspettare! ¹⁵ Ma ora, perché la sua ira non punisce, perch’egli non prende rigorosa conoscenza delle trasgressioni, ¹⁶ Giobbe apre vanamente le labbra e accumula parole senza conoscimento".

Lithuanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Elihuvas tęsė: ² “Ar manai, kad tu teisingai kalbi sakydamas: ‘Aš esu teisesnis už Dievą’? ³ Nes tu sakai: ‘Kokia nauda man iš to, jei aš nenusidedu?’ ⁴ Aš atsakysiu tau ir tavo draugams. ⁵ Pažvelk į dangaus debesis, kurie yra aukštai. ⁶ Jei nusikaltai, ar Jam pakenkei? Jei savo nuodėmes daugini, ar Jam ką padarai? ⁷ Jei teisus esi, kokia nauda Jam? Ką Jis gaus iš tavęs? ⁸ Tavo nedorybės kenkia tokiems kaip tu, ir tavo teisumas naudingas žmogaus sūnui. ⁹ Didelių vargų prispausti, žmonės šaukiasi pagalbos prieš smurtininkus. ¹⁰ Bet niekas neklausia: ‘Kur yra Dievas, mano Kūrėjas, kuris duoda giesmes naktį, ¹¹ kuris sutvėrė mus išmintingesnius už gyvulius ir padangių paukščius?’ ¹² Ten jie šaukia, bet niekas neatsako dėl piktadarių išdidumo. ¹³ Dievas nepaiso tuščių kalbų ir Visagalis nekreipia į jas dėmesio. ¹⁴ Nors tu sakai, kad Jo nematai, bet teisingumas yra prieš Jį, todėl pasitikėk Juo. ¹⁵ Kadangi Jis neaplankė savo rūstybėje ir nekreipė dėmesio į kvailybę, ¹⁶ todėl Jobas tuščiai atveria savo burną, išdidžiais žodžiais neišmintingai kalba”.

PBG⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Nadto mówił Elihu, i rzekł: ² I mniemasz, żeś to z rozsądkiem rzekł: Sprawiedliwość moja przechodzi Boską? ³ Boś powiedział: Cóż mi pomoże? a co wezmę za pożytek, choćbym nie grzeszył? ⁴ Ale ja tobie dowodnie odpowiem, i towarzyszom twoim z tobą. ⁵ Spojrzyj w niebo, a obacz; przypatrz się obłokom, jako są wyższe nad cię. ⁶ Jeźli zgrzeszysz, cóż uczynisz przeciwko niemu? a jeźliby były rozmnożone nieprawości twoje, cóż mu uczynisz? ⁷ Jeźlibyś był sprawiedliwym, cóż mu dasz? albo cóż weźmie z ręki twojej? ⁸ Człowiekowi podobnemu tobie niezbożność twoja zaszkodzi, a synowi człowieczemu pomoże sprawiedliwość twoja. ⁹ Z mnóstwa uciśnionych, którzy do tego przywiedzieni są; aby narzekali i wołali dla ramienia mocarzów, ¹⁰ Żaden nie mówi: Gdzież jest Bóg, stworzyciel mój, choć on daje śpiewanie i w nocy? ¹¹ Choć nas wyucza nad bydlęta ziemskie, a nad ptastwo niebieskie czyni nas mędrszymi. ¹² Tedy wołająli dla hardości złych, on ich nie wysłuchuje. ¹³ Bo obłudy nie wysłucha Bóg, a Wszechmocny nie patrzy na nich. ¹⁴ Dopieroż nie wysłucha ciebie, ponieważ mówisz: Nie widzisz tego; osądźże się przed nim, a oczekuj go, ¹⁵ Gdyż cię jedno trochę nawiedził gniew jego, jakoby nie wiedział wielkości grzechów twoich. ¹⁶ Przetoż Ijob próżno otwiera usta swe, a bez umiejętności rozmnaża słowa swoje.

Portuguese⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Disse mais Eliú: ² Tens por direito dizeres: Maior é a minha justiça do que a de Deus? ³ Porque dizes: Que me aproveita? Que proveito tenho mais do que se eu tivera pecado? ⁴ Eu te darei respostas, a ti e aos teus amigos contigo. ⁵ Atenta para os céus, e vê; e contempla o firmamento que é mais alto do que tu. ⁶ Se pecares, que efectuarás contra ele? Se as tuas transgressões se multiplicarem, que lhe farás com isso? ⁷ Se fores justo, que lhe darás, ou que receberá ele da tua mão? ⁸ A tua impiedade poderia fazer mal a outro tal como tu; e a tua justiça poderia aproveitar a um filho do homem. ⁹ Por causa da multidão das opressões os homens clamam; clamam por socorro por causa do braço dos poderosos. ¹⁰ Mas ninguém diz: Onde está Deus meu Criador, que inspira canções durante a noite; ¹¹ que nos ensina mais do que aos animais da terra, e nos faz mais sábios do que as aves do céu? ¹² Ali clamam, porém ele não responde, por causa da arrogância os maus. ¹³ Certo é que Deus não ouve o grito da vaidade, nem para ela atentará o Todo-Poderoso. ¹⁴ Quanto menos quando tu dizes que não o vês. A causa está perante ele; por isso espera nele. ¹⁵ Mas agora, porque a sua ira ainda não se exerce, nem grandemente considera ele a arrogância, ¹⁶ por isso abre Job em vão a sua boca, e sem conhecimento multiplica palavras.

Norwegian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Og Elihu tok atter til orde og sa: ² Holder du det for rett, du som har sagt: Jeg er rettferdigere enn Gud, ³ at du sier: Hvad nytter det mig, hvad gagn har jeg av at jeg ikke synder? ⁴ Jeg vil gi dig svar, og dine venner med dig. ⁵ Vend ditt øie mot himmelen og se, gi akt på skyene høit over dig! ⁶ Om du synder, hvad gjør du ham med det? Og er dine overtredelser mange, hvad skade volder du ham? ⁷ Er du rettferdig, hvad kan du gi ham, hvad mottar han av din hånd? ⁸ Bare for et menneske, din likemann, kan din ugudelighet ha noget å si, og bare for et menneskebarn din rettferdighet. ⁹ Over de mange undertrykkelser klager de; de skriker om hjelp mot de mektiges arm. ¹⁰ Men ingen sier: Hvor er Gud, min skaper, han som lar lovsanger lyde om natten*, / {* d.e. i ulykkens natt.} ¹¹ han som gir oss forstand fremfor jordens dyr og gjør oss vise fremfor himmelens fugler? ¹² Da roper de, uten at han svarer, om hjelp mot de ondes overmot. ¹³ Ja visselig, Gud hører ikke på tomme ord, den Allmektige akter ikke på slikt. ¹⁴ Også når du sier at du ikke ser ham, så ser han nok din sak, og du må bie på ham. ¹⁵ Men nu, fordi du ikke gjør det, hjemsøker han dig i sin vrede, og han akter ikke stort på overmodige ord. ¹⁶ Og Job oplater sin munn med tom tale; han bruker mange ord i sin uforstand.

Romanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Elihu a luat din nou cuvîntul, şi a zis: ² ,,Îţi închipuieşti că ai dreptate, şi crezi că te îndreptăţeşti înaintea lui Dumnezeu, ³ cînd zici:,La ce-mi foloseşte, ce cîştig am că nu păcătuiesc?` ⁴ Îţi voi răspunde şi la aceasta, ţie, şi prietenilor tăi totodată. ⁵ Uită-te spre ceruri, şi priveşte! Vezi norii, cît de sus sînt faţă de tine? ⁶ Dacă păcătuieşti, ce rău Îi faci Lui? Şi cînd păcatele ţi se înmulţesc, ce -I faci Lui? ⁷ Dacă eşti drept, ce -I dai Lui? Ce primeşte El din mîna ta? ⁸ Răutatea ta nu poate vătăma decît semenului tău, dreptatea ta nu foloseşte decît fiului omului. ⁹ Oamenii strigă împotriva mulţimii apăsătorilor, se plîng de silnicia multora; ¹⁰ dar niciunul nu zice:,Unde este Dumnezeu, Făcătorul meu, care ne insuflă cîntări de veselie noaptea, ¹¹ care ne învaţă mai mult decît pe dobitoacele pămîntului, şi ne dă mai multă pricepere decît păsărilor cerului?` ¹² Să tot strige ei atunci, căci Dumnezeu nu răspunde, din pricina mîndriei celor răi. ¹³ Degeaba strigă, căci Dumnezeu n'ascultă, Cel Atotputernic nu ia aminte. ¹⁴ Măcarcă zici că nu -L vezi, totuş pricina ta este înaintea Lui: aşteaptă -L! ¹⁵ Dar, pentru că mînia Lui nu pedepseşte încă, nu înseamnă că puţin Îi pasă de nelegiuire. ¹⁶ Aşa că Iov îşi deschide gura degeaba, şi spune o mulţime de vorbe fără rost.``

Ukrainian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ І говорив Елігу та й сказав: ² Чи це полічив ти за право, як кажеш: Моя праведність більша за Божу? ³ Бо ти говорив: Що поможе тобі? Яку користь із цього я матиму більшу, аніж від свойого гріха? ⁴ Я тобі відповім, а з тобою і ближнім твоїм. ⁵ Подивися на небо й побач, і на хмари споглянь, вони вищі за тебе. ⁶ Як ти будеш грішити, що зробиш Йому? А стануть численні провини твої, що ти вчиниш Йому? ⁷ Коли праведним станеш, що даси ти Йому? Або що Він візьме з твоєї руки? ⁸ Для людини, як ти, беззаконня твоє, і для людського сина твоя справедливість!... ⁹ Від безлічі гноблення стогнуть вони, кричать від твердого плеча багатьох... ¹⁰ Та не скаже ніхто: Де ж той Бог, що мене Він створив, що вночі дає співи, ¹¹ що нас над худобу земну Він навчає, і над птаство небесне вчиняє нас мудрими? ¹² Вони там кричать, але через бундючність злочинців Він відповіді не дає. ¹³ Тільки марноти не слухає Бог, і Всемогутній не бачить її. ¹⁴ Що ж тоді, коли кажеш: Не бачив Його! Та є суд перед Ним, і чекай ти його! ¹⁵ А тепер, коли гнів Його не покарав, і не дуже пізнав про глупоту, ¹⁶ то намарно Йов уста свої відкриває та множить слова без знання...
