1
Elihu spake moreover, and said,
Ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ἐλιοὺς, λέγει,
2
Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God’s?
Τί τοῦτο ἡγήσω ἐν κρίσει; σὺ τίς εἶ, ὅτι εἶπας, δίκαιός εἰμι ἔναντι Κυρίου;
3
For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?
—
4
I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.
Ἐγώ σοι δώσω ἀπόκρισιν, καὶ τοῖς τρισὶ φίλοις σου.
5
Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou.
Ἀνάβλεψον εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν, καὶ ἴδε· κατάμαθε δὲ νέφη, ὡς ὑψηλὰ ἀπὸ σοῦ.
6
If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?
Εἰ ἥμαρτες, τί πράξεις; εἰ δὲ καὶ πολλὰ ἠνόμησας, τί δύνασαι ποιῆσαι;
7
If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand?
Ἐπεὶ δὲ οὖν δίκαιος εἶ, τί δώσεις αὐτῷ; ἢ τί ἐκ χειρός σου λήψεται;
8
Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man.
Ἀνδρὶ τῷ ὁμοίῳ σου ἡ ἀσέβειά σου, καὶ υἱῷ ἀνθρώπου ἡ δικαιοσύνη σου.
9
By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.
Ἀπὸ πλήθους συκοφαντούμενοι κεκράξονται, βοήσονται ἀπὸ βραχίονος πολλῶν.
10
But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night;
Καὶ οὐκ εἶπε, ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ Θεὸς ὁ ποιήσας με, ὁ κατατάσσων φυλακὰς νυκτερινὰς,
11
Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?
ὁ διορίζων με ἀπὸ τετραπόδων γῆς, ἀπὸ δὲ πετεινῶν οὐρανοῦ;
12
There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men.
Ἐκεῖ κεκράξονται, καὶ οὐ μὴ εἰσακούσῃ, καὶ ἀπὸ ὕβρεως πονηρῶν.
13
Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.
Ἄτοπα γὰρ οὐ βούλεται ἰδεῖν ὁ Κύριος, αὐτὸς γὰρ ὁ παντοκράτωρ.
14
Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him.
Ὁρατής ἐστι τῶν συντελούντων τὰ ἄνομα, καὶ σώσει με· κρίθητι δὲ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ, εἰ δύνασαι αὐτὸν αἰνέσαι, ὡς ἔστι καὶ νῦν.
15
But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity:
“Ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἐπισκεπτόμενος ὀργὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἔγνω παράπτωμά τι σφόδρα·
16
Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.
καὶ Ἰὼβ ματαίως ἀνοίγει τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ, ἐν ἀγνωσίᾳ ῥήματα βαρύνει.
