1: And further answeredH6030 ElihuH0453 and said,H0559

2: HearH8085 you wise [men]H2450 my words,H4405 and you who have knowledgeH3045 Give earH0238

3: ForH3588 the earH0241 words,H4405 testsH0974 and as the palateH2441 tastesH2938 food.H0398

4: Justice-H4941 let us chooseH0977 let us knowH3045 among ourselvesH0996 what [is]H4100 good.H2896

5: ForH3588 has said,H0559 JobH0347 I am righteous,H6663 but GodH0410 has taken awayH5493 my justice.H4941

6: ConcerningH5921 my right?H4941 Should I lieH3576 [is] incurableH0605 My woundH2671 [though I am] withoutH1097 transgression.H6588

7: Who [is]H4310 a manH1397 like Job,H0347 [Who] drinksH8354 scornH3933 like water?H4325

8: and who goesH0732 in companyH2274 withH5973 the workersH6466 of iniquity,H0205 and walksH1980 withH5973 menH0376 wicked.H7562

9: ForH3588 he has said,H0559 nothingH3808 it profitsH5532 a manH1397 that he should delightH7521 inH5973 God.H0430

10: ThereforeH3651 you menH0376 of understanding.H3824 ListenH8085 Far be itH2486 from God,H0410 [to do] wickedness-H7562 and [from] the Almighty,H7706 to [commit] iniquity.H5766

11: For [according to]H3588 workH6467 manH0120 He repaysH7999 and according to [his] wayH0734 manH0376 makes to find a reward.H4672

12: Yes,H0637 surelyH0551 GodH0410 neverH3808 will do wickedly,H7561 and the AlmightyH7706 norH3808 will pervertH5791 justice.H4941

13: WhoH4310 gave chargeH6485 HimH5921 over the earth?H0776 Or whoH4310 appointed [Him]H7760 [over] the worldH8398 whole?H3605

14: ifH0518 He should setH7760 on itH0413 His heartH3820 His SpiritH7307 and His breath-H5397 to HimselfH0413 [If] He should gather.H0622

15: Would perishH1478 allH3605 fleshH1320 together,H3162 and manH0120 toH5921 dustH6083 would return.H7725

16: And ifH0518 [you have] understanding,H0998 hearH8085 this-H2063 listenH0238 to the soundH6963 of my words.H4405

17: ShouldH0637 one who hatesH8130 justiceH4941 govern?H2280 andH0518 just?H6662 [Him who is] mostH3524 will you condemn.H7561

18: [is [it fitting] to sayH0559 to a king,H4428 [You are] worthless?H1100 [You are] wicked?H7563 [And] toH0413 nobles,H5081

19: yetH0834 notH3808 He is partialH5375 toH6440 princes,H8269 norH3808 does He regardH5234 the richH7771 more thanH6440 the poor?H1800 forH3588 the workH4639 of His handsH3027 they [are] all.H3605

20: In a momentH7281 they die,H4191 and in the middleH2676 of the night,H3915 are shakenH1607 the peopleH5971 and pass away-H5674 and are taken awayH5493 the mightyH0047 withoutH3808 a hand.H3027

21: ForH3588 His eyes [are]H5869 onH5921 the waysH1870 of man,H0376 and allH3605 his stepsH6806 He sees.H7200

22: [There is] noH0369 darkness,H2822 and noH0369 shadow of death,H6757 may hide themselves.H5641 WhereH8033 the workersH6466 of iniquity.H0205

23: ForH3588 notH3808 onH5921 a manH0376 he need considerH7760 furtherH5750 that He should goH1980 beforeH0413 GodH0410 in judgment.H4941

24: He breaks in piecesH7489 mighty menH3524 withoutH3808 inquiry,H2714 and setsH5975 othersH0312 in their place.H8478

25: ThereforeH3651 he knowsH5234 their works,H4566 and He overthrows [them]H2015 in the night,H3915 and they are crushed.H1792

26: AsH8478 wicked [men]H7563 He strikes themH5606 in the openH4725 sight of others.H7200

27: BecauseH0834 uponH5921 thusH3651 they turned backH5493 from HimH0310 and anyH3605 of His ways-H1870 notH3808 would consider.H7919

28: To comeH0935 to HimH5921 so that they caused the cryH6818 of the poorH1800 and the cryH6818 of the afflictedH6041 for He hears.H8085

29: And when HeH1931 gives quietness,H8252 then whoH4310 can make trouble?H7561 and when He hidesH5641 [His] face,H6440 then whoH4310 can see HimH7789 and Whether [it is] againstH5921 a nation,H1471 orH5921 a manH0120 alone-H3162

30: that should not reign,H4427 manH0120 a hypocriticalH2611 lest be ensnaredH4170 the people.H5971

31: NoH3588 I will offend moreH0413 For,H0410 toH0559 GodH5375 has [anyone] saidH3808 I have borne [chastening].H2254

32: notH1107 [what] I do seeH2372 YouH0859 teach meH3384 ifH0518 iniquity,H5766 I have doneH6466 noH3808 I will do more.H3254

33: Should according to your [terms]H5973 He repay [it]H7999 [Just] becauseH3588 you disavow it,H3988 becauseH3588 YouH0859 must choose-H0977 and notH3808 I-H0589 therefore whatH4100 you knowH3045 speak.H1696

34: MenH0582 of understandingH3824 sayH0559 and menH1397 WiseH2450 who listenH8085

35: JobH0347 withoutH3808 knowledge,H1847 speaksH1696 and His words [are]H1697 withoutH3808 wisdom.H7919

36: Oh thatH0015 were triedH0974 JobH0347 toH5704 the utmostH5331 becauseH5921 [his] answers [are like] thoseH8666 of menH0376 wicked.H0205

37: ForH3588 he addsH3254 toH5921 his sin,H2403 rebellionH6588 among usH0996 He claps [his hands]H5606 and multipliesH7235 his wordsH0561 against God.H0410
