And Elihu answered and said:
And Elihu answered and said:
Elihu Reminds Job of God's Justice
Moreover Elihu answered and said,
Moreover Elihu answered and said,
“Do you think this to be just?
Do you say, ‘It is my right before God,’
Do you say, ‘It is my right before God,’
Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God's?
that you ask, ‘What advantage have I?
How am I better off than if I had sinned?’
How am I better off than if I had sinned?’
For thou hast asked of what profit it is unto thee: what do I gain more than if I had sinned?
I will answer you
and your friends with you.
and your friends with you.
I will reply to thee in words, and to thy companions with thee.
Look at the heavens, and see;
and behold the clouds, which are higher than you.
and behold the clouds, which are higher than you.
Look unto the heavens and see; and survey the skies: they are higher than thou.
If you have sinned, what do you accomplish against him?
And if your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him?
And if your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him?
If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? If thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?
If you are righteous, what do you give to him?
Or what does he receive from your hand?
Or what does he receive from your hand?
If thou be righteous, what givest thou to him? or what doth he receive of thy hand?
Your wickedness concerns a man like yourself,
and your righteousness a son of man.
and your righteousness a son of man.
Thy wickedness [may affect] a man as thou [art], and thy righteousness a son of man.
By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry; they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty:
But none says, ‘Where is God my Maker,
who gives songs in the night,
who gives songs in the night,
But none saith, Where is +God my Maker, who giveth songs in the night,
who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth
and makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?’
and makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?’
Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowl of the heavens?
There they cry out, but he does not answer,
because of the pride of evil men.
because of the pride of evil men.
There they cry, and he answereth not, because of the pride of evil men.
Surely God does not hear an empty cry,
nor does the Almighty regard it.
nor does the Almighty regard it.
Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.
How much less when you say that you do not see him,
that the case is before him, and you are waiting for him!
that the case is before him, and you are waiting for him!
Although thou sayest thou dost not see him, judgment is before him, therefore wait for him.
But now, because he hath not visited in his anger, doth not [Job] know [his] great arrogancy?
