- Elihu spake moreouer, and said,
- 2
- Thinkest thou this to bee right, that thou saydest, My righteousnesse is more then Gods?
- 3
- For thou saydst, what aduantage will it bee vnto thee, and, what profite shall I haue, if I bee cleansed from my sinne?
- 4
- I will answere thee, and thy companions with thee.
- 5
- Looke vnto the heauens and see, and behold the clouds which are higher then thou.
- 6
- If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him?
or it thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou vnto him?
- 7
- If thou be righteous, what giuest thou him?
or what receiueth hee of thine hand?
- 8
- Thy wickednesse may hurt a man as thou art, and thy righteousnesse may profit the sonne of man.
- 9
- By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to crie: they crie out by reason of the arme of the mightie.
- 10
- But none saith, where is God my maker, who giueth songs in the night?
- 11
- Who teacheth vs more then the beasts of the earth, and maketh vs wiser then the foules of heauen.
- 12
- There they crie, (but none giueth answere) because of the pride of euill men.
- 13
- Surely God wil not heare vanitie, neither wil the Almightie regard it.
- 14
- Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet iudgement is before him, therefore trust thou in him.
- 15
- But now because it is not so, hee hath visited in his anger, yet he knoweth it not in great extremitie:
- 16
- Therefore doeth Iob open his mouth in vaine: he multiplieth words without knowledge.
