\v 1 Moreover Elihu continued, saying,
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 2 "Do you think this is just
|
|
\q when you say, 'My right before God'?
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 3 For you ask, 'What use is it to me'
|
|
\q and 'Would I be better off if I had sinned?'
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 4 I will answer you,
|
|
\q both you and your friends.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 5 Look up at the sky, and see it;
|
|
\q see the sky, which is higher than you.
|

\s5

|
\q
|
|
\v 6 If you have sinned, what harm do you do to God?
|
|
\q If your transgressions pile up high, what do you do to him?
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 7 If you are righteous, what can you give to him?
|
|
\q What will he receive from your hand?
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 8 Your wickedness may hurt a man, as you are a man,
|
|
\q and your righteousness might benefit another son of man.

\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 9 Because of many acts of oppression, people cry out;
|
|
\q they call for help from the arms of mighty men.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 10 But no one says, 'Where is God my Maker,
|
|
\q who gives songs in the night,
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 11 who teaches us more than he teaches the beasts of the earth,
|
|
\q and who makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?'
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 12 There they cry out, but God gives no answer
|
|
\q because of the pride of evil men.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 13 God will certainly not hear a foolish cry;
|
|
\q the Almighty will pay no attention to it.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 14 How much less will he answer you if you say that you do not see him,
|
|
\q that your case is before him, and that you are waiting for him!
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 15 How much less will he answer you if you say that he never punishes anyone in anger,
|
|
\q and that he is not very concerned about people's pride.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 16 So Job opens his mouth only to speak foolishness;
|
|
\q he piles up words without knowledge."
