¹ Moreover Elihu answered and said:

² “Do you think this is right? Do you say, ‘My righteousness is more than God’s’?

³ For [1†]you say, ‘What advantage will it be to You? What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?’

⁴ “I will answer you, And [2†]your companions with you.

⁵ [3†]Look to the heavens and see; And behold the clouds— They are higher than you.

⁶ If you sin, what do you accomplish [4†]against Him? Or, if your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to Him?

⁷ [5†]If you are righteous, what do you give Him? Or what does He receive from your hand?

⁸ Your wickedness affects a man such as you, And your righteousness a son of man.

⁹ “Because [6†] of the multitude of oppressions they cry out; They cry out for help because of the arm of the mighty.

¹⁰ But no one says, [7†]‘Where is God my Maker, [8†]Who gives songs in the night,

¹¹ Who [9†]teaches us more than the beasts of the earth, And makes us wiser than the birds of heaven?’

¹² [10†]There they cry out, but He does not answer, Because of the pride of evil men.

¹³ [11†]Surely God will not listen to empty talk, Nor will the Almighty regard it.

¹⁴ [12†]Although you say you do not see Him, Yet justice is before Him, and [13†]you must wait for Him.

¹⁵ And now, because He has not [14†]punished in His anger, Nor taken much notice of folly,

¹⁶ [15†]Therefore Job opens his mouth in vain; He multiplies words without knowledge.”
