  • 1 Elihu Proclaims God’s Justice Elihu further answered and said:
  • 2 “Hear my words, you wise men; Give ear to me, you who have knowledge.
  • 3 Job 6:30; 12:11 For the ear tests words As the palate tastes food.
  • 4 Let us choose justice for ourselves; Let us know among ourselves what is good.
  • 5 “For Job has said, Job 13:18; 33:9 ‘I am righteous, But Job 27:2 God has taken away my justice;
  • 6 Job 6:4; 9:17 Should I lie concerning my right? My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.’
  • 7 What man is like Job, Job 15:16 Who drinks scorn like water,
  • 8 Who goes in company with the workers of iniquity, And walks with wicked men?
  • 9 For Mal. 3:14 he has said, ‘It profits a man nothing That he should delight in God.’
  • 10 “Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding: (Gen. 18:25; Deut. 32:4;2 Chr. 19:7); Job 8:3; 36:23; Ps. 92:15; Rom. 9:14 Far be it from God to do wickedness, And from the Almighty to commit iniquity.
  • 11 Job 34:25; Ps. 62:12; (Prov. 24:12; Jer. 32:19); Ezek. 33:20; (Matt. 16:27); Rom. 2:6; (2 Cor. 5:10; Rev. 22:12) For He repays man according to his work, And makes man to find a reward according to his way.
  • 12 Surely God will never do wickedly, Nor will the Almighty Job 8:3 pervert justice.
  • 13 Who gave Him charge over the earth? Or who appointed Him over the whole world?
  • 14 If He should set His heart on it, If He should Job 12:10; Ps. 104:29; (Eccl. 12:7) gather to Himself His Spirit and His breath,
  • 15 (Gen. 3:19); Job 10:9; (Eccl. 12:7) All flesh would perish together, And man would return to dust.
  • 16 “If you have understanding, hear this; Listen to the sound of my words:
  • 17 2 Sam. 23:3; Job 34:30 Should one who hates justice govern? Will you Job 40:8 condemn Him who is most just?
  • 18 Ex. 22:28 Is it fitting to say to a king, ‘ You are worthless,’ And to nobles, ‘ You are wicked’?
  • 19 Yet He (Deut. 10:17; Acts 10:34; Rom. 2:11, 12) is not partial to princes, Nor does He regard the rich more than the poor; For Job 31:15 they are all the work of His hands.
  • 20 In a moment they die, Ex. 12:29; Job 34:25; 36:20 in the middle of the night; The people are shaken and pass away; The mighty are taken away without a hand.
  • 21 “For (2 Chr. 16:9); Job 31:4; Ps. 34:15; (Prov. 5:21; 15:3; Jer. 16:17; 32:19) His eyes are on the ways of man, And He sees all his steps.
  • 22 (Ps. 139:11, 12; Amos 9:2, 3) There is no darkness nor shadow of death Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
  • 23 For He need not further consider a man, That he should go before God in judgment.
  • 24 Job 12:19; (Dan. 2:21) He breaks in pieces mighty men without inquiry, And sets others in their place.
  • 25 Therefore He knows their works; He overthrows them in the night, And they are crushed.
  • 26 He strikes them as wicked men In the open sight of others,
  • 27 Because they 1 Sam. 15:11 turned back from Him, And Ps. 28:5; Is. 5:12 would not consider any of His ways,
  • 28 So that they Job 35:9; James 5:4 caused the cry of the poor to come to Him; For He (Ex. 22:23); Job 22:27 hears the cry of the afflicted.
  • 29 When He gives quietness, who then can make trouble? And when He hides His face, who then can see Him, Whether it is against a nation or a man alone?—
  • 30 That the hypocrite should not reign, Lest the people be ensnared.
  • 31 “For has anyone said to God, ‘I have borne chastening; I will offend no more;
  • 32 Teach me what I do not see; If I have done iniquity, I will do no more’?
  • 33 Should He repay it according to your terms, Just because you disavow it? You must choose, and not I; Therefore speak what you know.
  • 34 “Men of understanding say to me, Wise men who listen to me:
  • 35 ‘Job Job 35:16; 38:2 speaks without knowledge, His words are without wisdom.’
  • 36 Oh, that Job were tried to the utmost, Because his answers are like those of wicked men!
  • 37 For he adds Job 7:11; 10:1 rebellion to his sin; He claps his hands among us, And multiplies his words against God.”
