1And Elihu went on to say:
2“Do you think this is just?
3For you ask, ‘What does it profit me,
4I will reply to you
5Look to the heavens and see;
6If you sin, what do you accomplish against Him?
7If you are righteous, what do you give Him,
8Your wickedness affects only a man like yourself,
9Men cry out under great oppression;
10But no one asks, ‘Where is God my Maker,
11who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth
12There they cry out, but He does not answer,
13Surely God does not listen to empty pleas,
14How much less, then, when you say that you do not see Him,
15and further, that in His anger He has not punished
16So Job opens his mouth in vain
