- Elihu spake moreouer, and said,
- 2
- Thinkest thou this right, that thou hast said, I am more righteous then God?
- 3
- For thou hast said, What profiteth it thee and what auaileth it me, to purge me fro my sinne?
- 4
- Therefore will I answere thee, & thy companions with thee.
- 5
- Looke vnto the heauen, and see and behold the cloudes which are hyer then thou.
- 6
- If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him, yea, when thy sinnes be many, what doest thou vnto him?
- 7
- If thou be righteous, what giuest thou vnto him?
or what receiueth he at thine hand?
- 8
- Thy wickednesse may hurt a man as thou art: and thy righteousnes may profite ye sonne of man.
- 9
- They cause many that are oppressed, to crye, which crye out for ye violence of the mightie.
- 10
- But none saieth, Where is God that made me, which giueth songs in the nyght?
- 11
- Which teacheth vs more then the beastes of the earth, and giueth vs more wisdome then the foules of the heauen.
- 12
- Then they crye because of the violence of the wicked, but he answereth not.
- 13
- Surely God will not heare vanitie, neyther will the Almightie regard it.
- 14
- Although thou sayest to God, Thou wilt not regard it, yet iudgement is before him: trust thou in him.
- 15
- But nowe because his anger hath not visited, nor called to count the euill with great extremitie,
- 16
- Therfore Iob openeth his mouth in vaine, and multiplieth wordes without knowledge.
