| And Eli'hu said: | |||
| "Do you think this to be just? Do you say, 'It is my right before God,' | |||
| that you ask, 'What advantage have I? How am I better off than if I had sinned?' | |||
| I will answer you and your friends with you. | |||
| Look at the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds, which are higher than you. | |||
| If you have sinned, what do you accomplish against him? And if your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him? | |||
| If you are righteous, what do you give to him; or what does he receive from your hand? | |||
| Your wickedness concerns a man like yourself, and your righteousness a son of man. | |||
| "Because of the multitude of oppressions people cry out; they call for help because of the arm of the mighty. | |||
| But none says, 'Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night, | |||
| who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of the air?' | |||
| There they cry out, but he does not answer, because of the pride of evil men. | |||
| Surely God does not hear an empty cry, nor does the Almighty regard it. | |||
| How much less when you say that you do not see him, that the case is before him, and you are waiting for him! | |||
| And now, because his anger does not punish, and he does not greatly heed transgression, | |||
| Job opens his mouth in empty talk, he multiplies words without knowledge." | |||
