1 Then these three men ceased answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes. 2 But the anger of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram burned; against Job his anger burned because he justified himselfabefore God. 3 And his anger burned against his three friends because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job. 4 Now Elihu had waitedbto speak to Job because they were years older than he. 5 And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men his anger burned. |
11 “Behold, I waited for your words, I listened to your reasonings, While youkpondered what to say. 12 “I even paid close attention to you; lIndeed, there was no one who refuted Job, Not one of you who answered his words. 13 “Do not say, ‘We have found wisdom; God willmrout him, not man.’ 14 “For he has not arranged his words against me, Nor will I reply to him with yournarguments. |
15 “They are dismayed, they no longer answer; Words haveofailed them. 16 “Shall I wait, because they do not speak, Because theypstop and no longer answer? |
2 “Behold now, I open my mouth, My tongue in myamouth speaks. 4 “The Spirit of God has made me, And the breath ofbthe Almighty gives me life. 6 “Behold, I belong to God like you; I too have beencformed out of the clay. |
10 ‘Behold, Hedinvents pretexts against me; He counts me as His enemy. 12 “Behold, let meetell you, you are not right in this, For God is greater than man. |
15 17 That He may turn man aside from his conduct, Andfkeep man from pride; 18 He keeps back his soul from the pit, And his life fromgpassing over into Sheol. |
19 “hMan is also chastened with pain on his bed, And with unceasing complaint in his bones; |
23 “If there is an angel as mediator for him, One out of a thousand, To remind a man what isiright for him, 24 26 27 |
29 “Behold, God does all thesejoftentimes with men, 32 “Then ifkyou have anything to say, answer me; Speak, for I desire to justify you. |
9 “For he has said, ‘It profits a man nothing When hecis pleased with God.’ |
10 11 “For He pays a man according to his work, And makesdhim find it according to his way. 14 “If He shouldedetermine to do so, If He should gather to Himself His spirit and His breath, |

26 “He strikes them like the wicked fIn a public place, 28 29 |
33 36 ‘Job ought to be triedgto the limit, Because he answers like wicked men. |
3 “For you say, ‘What advantage will it be toaYou? What profit will I have, more than if I had sinned?’ 6 |
9 11 13 “Surely God will not listen toban empty cry, Nor will the Almighty regard it. 14 15 “And now, because He has not visited in His anger, Nor has He acknowledgedctransgression well, 16 So Job opens his mouthdemptily; He multiplies words without knowledge.” |
2 “Wait for me a little, and I will show you That thereais yet more to be said in God’s behalf. 7 12 “But if they do not hear, they shallbperish by the sword And they will die without knowledge. 14 “cThey die in youth, And their life perishes among the cult prostitutes. 16 “Then indeed, He enticed you from the mouth of distress, Instead of it, a broad place with no constraint; And that which was set on your table was full offfatness. |
18 19 “Will yourgriches keep you from distress, Or all the forces of your strength? 20 “Do not long for the night, When peoplehvanish in their place. |
29 “Can anyone understand the spreading of the clouds, The thundering of Hiskpavilion? 30 “Behold, He spreads Hisllightning about Him, And He covers the depths of the sea. 32 “He covers His hands with themlightning, And commands it to strike the mark. 33 “Its noise declaresnHis presence; The cattle also, concerning what is coming up. |
3 “Under the whole heaven He lets it loose, And Hisalightning to the ends of the earth. 4 “After it, a voice roars; He thunders with His majestic voice, And He does not restrainbthe lightnings when His voice is heard. 6 “For to the snow He says, ‘Fall on the earth,’ And to thecdownpour and the rain, ‘Be strong.’ 8 “Then the beast goes into its lair And remains in itsdden. 11 “Also with moisture He loads the thick cloud; He disperses the cloud of Hisglightning. 12 |
15 “Do you know how God establishes them, And makes thellightning of His cloud to shine? 20 “Shall it be told Him that I would speak? mOr should a man say that he would be swallowed up? |
21 “Nownmen do not see the light which is bright in the skies; But the wind has passed and cleared them. 23 |
