Elihu Reminds Job of God's Justice
Moreover Elihu answered and said,
Moreover Elihu answered and said,
“Do you think this is right?
Do you say,
‘My righteousness is more than God’s’?
Do you say,
‘My righteousness is more than God’s’?
Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God's?
For you say,
‘What advantage will it be to You?
What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?’
‘What advantage will it be to You?
What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?’
For thou hast asked of what profit it is unto thee: what do I gain more than if I had sinned?
“I will answer you,
And your companions with you.
And your companions with you.
I will reply to thee in words, and to thy companions with thee.
Look to the heavens and see;
And behold the clouds —
They are higher than you.
And behold the clouds —
They are higher than you.
Look unto the heavens and see; and survey the skies: they are higher than thou.
If you sin, what do you accomplish against Him?
Or, if your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to Him?
Or, if your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to Him?
If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? If thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?
If you are righteous, what do you give Him?
Or what does He receive from your hand?
Or what does He receive from your hand?
If thou be righteous, what givest thou to him? or what doth he receive of thy hand?
Your wickedness affects a man such as you,
And your righteousness a son of man.
And your righteousness a son of man.
Thy wickedness [may affect] a man as thou [art], and thy righteousness a son of man.
“Because of the multitude of oppressions they cry out;
They cry out for help because of the arm of the mighty.
They cry out for help because of the arm of the mighty.
By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry; they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty:
But no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker,
Who gives songs in the night,
Who gives songs in the night,
But none saith, Where is +God my Maker, who giveth songs in the night,
Who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth,
And makes us wiser than the birds of heaven?’
And makes us wiser than the birds of heaven?’
Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowl of the heavens?
There they cry out, but He does not answer,
Because of the pride of evil men.
Because of the pride of evil men.
There they cry, and he answereth not, because of the pride of evil men.
Surely God will not listen to empty talk,
Nor will the Almighty regard it.
Nor will the Almighty regard it.
Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.
Although you say you do not see Him,
Yet justice is before Him, and you must wait for Him.
Yet justice is before Him, and you must wait for Him.
Although thou sayest thou dost not see him, judgment is before him, therefore wait for him.
And now, because He has not punished in His anger,
Nor taken much notice of folly,
Nor taken much notice of folly,
But now, because he hath not visited in his anger, doth not [Job] know [his] great arrogancy?
