(American Standard Version)

  • 1 Moreover Elihu answered and said,
  • 2 Hear my words, ye wise men; And give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.
  • 3 For the ear trieth words, As the palate tasteth food.
  • 4 Let us choose for us that which is right: Let us know among ourselves what is good.
  • 5 For Job hath said, I am righteous, And God hath taken away my right:
  • 6 Notwithstanding my right I am accounted a liar; My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.
  • 7 What man is like Job, Who drinketh up scoffing like water,
  • 8 Who goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, And walketh with wicked men?
  • 9 For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing That he should delight himself with God.
  • 10 Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: Far be it from God, that he should do wickedness, And from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.
  • 11 For the work of a man will he render unto him, And cause every man to find according to his ways.
  • 12 Yea, of a surety, God will not do wickedly, Neither will the Almighty pervert justice.
  • 13 Who gave him a charge over the earth? Or who hath disposed the whole world?
  • 14 If he set his heart upon himself, If he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;
  • 15 All flesh shall perish together, And man shall turn again unto dust.
  • 16 If now thou hast understanding, hear this: Hearken to the voice of my words.
  • 17 Shall even one that hateth justice govern? And wilt thou condemn him that is righteous and mighty?—
  • 18 Him that saith to a king, Thou art vile, Or to nobles, Ye are wicked;
  • 19 That respecteth not the persons of princes, Nor regardeth the rich more than the poor; For they all are the work of his hands.
  • 20 In a moment they die, even at midnight; The people are shaken and pass away, And the mighty are taken away without hand.
  • 21 For his eyes are upon the ways of a man, And he seeth all his goings.
  • 22 There is no darkness, nor thick gloom, Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
  • 23 For he needeth not further to consider a man, That he should go before God in judgment.
  • 24 He breaketh in pieces mighty men in ways past finding out, And setteth others in their stead.
  • 25 Therefore he taketh knowledge of their works; And he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
  • 26 He striketh them as wicked men In the open sight of others;
  • 27 Because they turned aside from following him, And would not have regard in any of his ways:
  • 28 So that they caused the cry of the poor to come unto him, And he heard the cry of the afflicted.
  • 29 When he giveth quietness, who then can condemn? And when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? Alike whether it be done unto a nation, or unto a man:
  • 30 That the godless man reign not, That there be none to ensnare the people.
  • 31 For hath any said unto God, I have borne chastisement , I will not offend any more :
  • 32 That which I see not teach thou me: If I have done iniquity, I will do it no more?
  • 33 Shall his recompense be as thou wilt, that thou refusest it? For thou must choose, and not I: Therefore speak what thou knowest.
  • 34 Men of understanding will say unto me, Yea, every wise man that heareth me:
  • 35 Job speaketh without knowledge, And his words are without wisdom.
  • 36 Would that Job were tried unto the end, Because of his answering like wicked men.
  • 37 For he addeth rebellion unto his sin; He clappeth his hands among us, And multiplieth his words against God.
