1Furthermore Elihu answered and said,
2Hear my words, O ye wise men;
3For the ear trieth words,
4Let us choose to us judgment:
5For Job hath said, I am righteous:
6Should I lie against my right?
7What man is like Job,
8Which 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 shall he render unto him,
12Yea, surely God will not do wickedly,
13Who hath given him a charge over the earth?
14If he set his heart upon man,
15All flesh shall perish together,
16If now thou hast understanding, hear this:
17Shall even he that hateth right govern?
18Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked?
19How much less to him that accepteth not the persons of princes,
20In a moment shall they die,
21For his eyes are upon the ways of man,
22There is no darkness, nor shadow of death,
23For he will not lay upon man more than right;
24He shall break in pieces mighty men without number,
25Therefore he knoweth their works,
26He striketh them as wicked men
27Because they turned back from him,
28So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him,
29When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble?
30That the hypocrite reign not,
31Surely it is meet to be said unto God,
32That which I see not teach thou me:
33Should it be according to thy mind? he will recompense it,
34Let men of understanding tell me,
35Job hath spoken without knowledge,
36My desire is that Job may be tried unto the end
37For he addeth rebellion unto his sin,
