1Moreover Elihu answered and said,
2Hear my words, ye wise men;
3For the ear trieth words,
4Let us choose for us that which is right:
5For Job hath said, I am righteous,
6Notwithstanding my right I am accounted a liar;
7What man is like Job,
8Who goeth in company with the workers of iniquity,
9For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing
10Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding:
11For the work of a man will he render unto him,
12Yea, of a surety, God will not do wickedly,
13Who gave him a charge over the earth?
14If he set his heart upon himself,
15All flesh shall perish together,
16If now thou hast understanding, hear this:
17Shall even one that hateth justice govern?
18Him that saith to a king, Thou art vile,
19That respecteth not the persons of princes,
20In a moment they die, even at midnight;
21For his eyes are upon the ways of a man,
22There is no darkness, nor thick gloom,
23For he needeth not further to consider a man,
24He breaketh in pieces mighty men in ways past finding out,
25Therefore he taketh knowledge of their works;
26He striketh them as wicked men
27Because they turned aside from following him,
28So that they caused the cry of the poor to come unto him,
29When he giveth quietness, who then can condemn?
30That the godless man reign not,
31For hath any said unto God,
32That which I see not teach thou me:
33Shall his recompense be as thou wilt, that thou refusest it?
34Men of understanding will say unto me,
35Job speaketh without knowledge,
36Would that Job were tried unto the end,
37For he addeth rebellion unto his sin;
