Then Elihuh453 continuedh6030a and saidh559,

2

"Do you thinkh2803 thish384 is according to  ajusticeh4941? Do you sayh559, `My righteousnessh6664 is moreh4480 thanh4480 God'sh410'?

3

"For you sayh559, ` aWhath4100 advantageh5532a will it be to  1You?  bWhath4100 profith3276 will I have, moreh4480 thanh4480 if I had sinnedh2403b?'

4

"I will answerh7725h4405 you, And your friendsh7453 with you.

5

aLookh5027 at the heavensh8064 and seeh7200; And beholdh7789  bthe cloudsh7834--they are higherh1361b thanh4480 you.

6

"Ifh518 you have sinnedh2398,  awhath4100 do you accomplishh6466 against Him? And if your transgressionsh6588 are manyh7231, whath4100 do you doh6213a to Him?

7

"Ifh518 you are righteoush6663,  awhath4100 do you giveh5414 to Him, Orh176 whath4100 does He receiveh3947 from your handh3027?

8

"Your wickednessh7562 is for a manh376 likeh3644 yourself, And your righteousnessh6666 is for a sonh1121 of manh120.

9

"Becauseh4480 of the  amultitudeh7230 of oppressionsh6217 they cryh2199 out; They cryh7768 for helph7768 becauseh4480 of the armh2220  bof the mightyh7227a.

10

"But  anoh3808 one saysh559, `Whereh346 is Godh433 my Makerh6213a, Who  bgivesh5414 songsh2158 in the nighth3915,

11

Who  ateachesh502 us moreh4480 thanh4480 the beastsh929 of the earthh776 And makesh2449 us wiserh2449 thanh4480 the birdsh5775 of the heavensh8064?'

12

"Thereh8033  athey cryh6817 out, but He does not answerh6030a Becauseh4480h6440 of the prideh1347b of evilh7451a menh7451a.

13

"Surelyh389  aGodh410 will not listenh8085 to  1an emptyh7723 cry, Norh3808 will the Almightyh7706b regardh7789 it.

14

"Howh637 muchh637 lessh637 whenh3588  ayou sayh559 you do not beholdh7789 Him, The  bcaseh1779 is beforeh6440 Him, and you must waith2342a for Him!

15

"And nowh6258, becauseh3588 He has not visitedh6485 in His angerh639, Norh3808 has He acknowledgedh3045  1transgressionh6588 wellh3966,

16

So Jobh347 opensh6475 his mouthh6310  1emptilyh1892; He multipliesh3527 wordsh4405  awithouth1097 knowledgeh1847."
