1. Moreover Elihu answered,
2. “Hear my words, you wise men.Give ear to me, you who have knowledge.
3. For the ear tries words,as the palate tastes food.
4. Let us choose for us that which is right.Let us know amongst ourselves what is good.
5. For Job has said, ‘I am righteous,God has taken away my right:
6. Notwithstanding my right I am considered a liar.My wound is incurable, though I am without disobedience.’
7. What man is like Job,who drinks scorn like water,
8. Who goes in company with the workers of iniquity,and walks with wicked men?
9. For he has said, ‘It profits a man nothingthat he should delight himself with God.’
10. “Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding:far be it from God, that he should do wickedness,from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.
11. For the work of a man he will render to him,and cause every man to find according to his ways.
