| 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 oppressions 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. |
