| 1 Then Elihu continued and said, | 1 Elihu spake moreover, and said, | 1 Moreover Elihu answered and said, | 1 Moreover Eliu spoke these words : | 1 And Elihu answereth and saith: -- | 2 "Do you think this is according to justice? Do you say, 'My righteousness is more than God's '? | 2 Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God's? | 2 Thinkest thou this to be thy right, Or'sayest thou, My righteousness is more than God's, | 2 Doth thy thought seem right to thee, that thou shouldst say : I am more just than God? | 2 This hast thou reckoned for judgment: Thou hast said -- 'My righteousness is more than God's?' | 3 "For you say, 'What advantage will it be to You? What profit will I have, more than if I had sinned?' | 3 For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin? | 3 That thou sayest, What advantage will it be unto thee? And , What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned? | 3 For thou saidst : That which is right doth not please thee : or what will it profit thee if I sin? | 3 For thou sayest, 'What doth it profit Thee! What do I profit from my sin?' | 4 "I will answer you, And your friends with you. | 4 I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee. | 4 I will answer thee, And thy companions with thee. | 4 Therefore I will answer thy words, and thy friends with thee. | 4 I return thee words, and thy friends with thee, | 5 "Look at the heavens and see; And behold the clouds-- they are higher than you. | 5 Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou. | 5 Look unto the heavens, and see; And behold the skies, which are higher than thou. | 5 Look up to heaven and see, and behold the sky, that it is higher than thee. | 5 Behold attentively the heavens -- and see, And behold the clouds, They have been higher than thou. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 6 "If you have sinned, what do you accomplish against Him? And if your transgressions are many, what do you do to Him? | 6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him? | 6 If thou hast sinned, what effectest thou against him? And if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him? | 6 If thou sin, what shalt thou hurt him? and if thy iniquities be multiplied, what shalt thou do against him? | 6 If thou hast sinned, what dost thou against Him? And thy transgressions have been multiplied, What dost thou to Him? | 7 "If you are righteous, what do you give to Him, Or what does He receive from your hand? | 7 If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand? | 7 If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? Or what receiveth he of thy hand? | 7 And if thou do justly, what shalt thou give him, or what shall he receive of thy hand? | 7 If thou hast been righteous, What dost thou give to Him? Or what from thy hand doth He receive? | 8 "Your wickedness is for a man like yourself, And your righteousness is for a son of man. | 8 Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man. | 8 Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; And thy righteousness may profit a son of man. | 8 Thy wickedness may hurt a man that is like thee : and thy justice may help the son of man. | 8 For a man like thyself is thy wickedness, And for a son of man thy righteousness. | 9 "Because of the multitude of oppressions they cry out; They cry for help because of the arm of the mighty. | 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. | 9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out; They cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty. | 9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they shall cry out : and shall wail for the violence of the arm of tyrants. | 9 Because of the multitude of oppressions They cause to cry out, They cry because of the arm of the mighty. | 10 "But no one says, 'Where is God my Maker, Who gives songs in the night, | 10 But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night; | 10 But none saith, Where is God my Maker, Who giveth songs in the night, | 10 And he hath not said : Where is God, who made me, who hath given songs in the night? | 10 And none said, 'Where is God my maker? Giving songs in the night, | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 11 Who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth And makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?' | 11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven? | 11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, And maketh us wiser than the birds of the heavens? | 11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and instructeth us more than the fowls of the air. | 11 Teaching us more than the beasts of the earth, Yea, than the fowl of the heavens He maketh us wiser.' | 12 "There they cry out, but He does not answer Because of the pride of evil men. | 12 There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men. | 12 There they cry, but none giveth answer, Because of the pride of evil men. | 12 There shall they cry, and he will not hear, because of the pride of evil men. | 12 There they cry, and He doth not answer, Because of the pride of evil doers. | 13 "Surely God will not listen to an empty cry, Nor will the Almighty regard it. | 13 Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it. | 13 Surely God will not hear an empty cry , Neither will the Almighty regard it. | 13 God therefore will not hear in vain, and the Almighty will look into the causes of every one. | 13 Surely vanity God doth not hear, And the Mighty doth not behold it. | 14 "How much less when you say you do not behold Him, The case is before Him, and you must wait for Him! | 14 Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him. | 14 How much less when thou sayest thou beholdest him not, The cause is before him, and thou waitest for him! | 14 Yea when thou shalt say : He considereth not : be judged before him, and expect him. | 14 Yea, though thou sayest thou dost not behold Him, Judgment is before Him, and stay for Him. | 15 "And now, because He has not visited in His anger, Nor has He acknowledged transgression well, | 15 But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity: | 15 But now, because he hath not visited in his anger, Neither doth he greatly regard arrogance; | 15 For he doth not now bring on his fury, neither doth he revenge wickedness exceedingly. | 15 And, now, because there is not, He hath appointed His anger, And He hath not known in great extremity. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 16 So Job opens his mouth emptily; He multiplies words without knowledge." | 16 Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge. | 16 Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vanity; He multiplieth words without knowledge. | 16 Therefore Job openeth his mouth in vain, and multiplieth words without knowledge. | 16 And Job with vanity doth open his mouth, Without knowledge words he multiplieth. |
