1In response, Elihu said:

1וַיַּ֥עַן אֱלִיה֗וּ וַיֹּאמַֽר׃

2"Are you saying that it's just for you to claim, 'I'm more righteous than God?'

2הֲ֭זֹאת חָשַׁ֣בְתָּ לְמִשְׁפָּ֑ט אָ֝מַ֗רְתָּ צִדְקִ֥י מֵאֵֽל׃

3After all, you've asked what your benefit will be: 'What will I profit from refraining from sin?'

3כִּֽי־ תֹ֭אמַר מַה־ יִּסְכָּן־ לָ֑ךְ מָֽה־ אֹ֝עִ֗יל מֵֽחַטָּאתִֽי׃

4I'm going to respond to that statement, and to your friends with you."

4אֲ֭נִי אֲשִֽׁיבְךָ֣ מִלִּ֑ין וְֽאֶת־ רֵעֶ֥יךָ עִמָּֽךְ׃

5"Observe the heavens! Take a look around! Look! The clouds are higher than you, aren't they?

5הַבֵּ֣ט שָׁמַ֣יִם וּרְאֵ֑ה וְשׁ֥וּר שְׁ֝חָקִ֗ים גָּבְה֥וּ מִמֶּֽךָּ׃

6If you sin, what will that do to harm him? If you add transgression to transgression what will it do to him?

6אִם־ חָ֭טָאתָ מַה־ תִּפְעָל־ בּ֑וֹ וְרַבּ֥וּ פְ֝שָׁעֶ֗יךָ מַה־ תַּעֲשֶׂה־ לּֽוֹ׃

7If you are righteous, what will you add to him? What can God receive from your efforts?

7אִם־ צָ֭דַקְתָּ מַה־ תִּתֶּן־ ל֑וֹ א֥וֹ מַה־ מִיָּדְךָ֥ יִקָּֽח׃

8Your wickedness affects only yourself; and your righteousness, only human beings.

8לְאִישׁ־ כָּמ֥וֹךָ רִשְׁעֶ֑ךָ וּלְבֶן־ אָ֝דָ֗ם צִדְקָתֶֽךָ׃

9"They cry out because they have many oppressors; they cry for help because the powerful are abusing them.

9מֵ֭רֹב עֲשׁוּקִ֣ים יַזְעִ֑יקוּ יְשַׁוְּע֖וּ מִזְּר֣וֹעַ רַבִּֽים׃

10He never asks, 'Where is God, my Creator, who gives me songs in the night,

10וְֽלֹא־ אָמַ֗ר אַ֭יֵּה אֱל֣וֹהַּ עֹשָׂ֑י נֹתֵ֖ן זְמִר֣וֹת בַּלָּֽיְלָה׃

11who teaches us more than the earth's wild animals, and makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?'

11מַ֭לְּפֵנוּ מִבַּהֲמ֣וֹת אָ֑רֶץ וּמֵע֖וֹף הַשָּׁמַ֣יִם יְחַכְּמֵֽנוּ׃

12"They cry out there, but he doesn't answer because of the arrogance of those who practice evil.

12שָׁ֣ם יִ֭צְעֲקוּ וְלֹ֣א יַעֲנֶ֑ה מִ֝פְּנֵ֗י גְּא֣וֹן רָעִֽים׃

13Theirs is a useless plea— God won't listen; the Almighty won't pay any attention.

13אַךְ־ שָׁ֭וְא לֹא־ יִשְׁמַ֥ע ׀ אֵ֑ל וְ֝שַׁדַּ֗י לֹ֣א יְשׁוּרֶֽנָּה׃

14Even though you complain that you can't perceive him, your case is already pending for judgment in his presence so keep on placing your hope in him.

14אַ֣ף כִּֽי־ תֹ֭אמַר לֹ֣א תְשׁוּרֶ֑נּוּ דִּ֥ין לְ֝פָנָ֗יו וּתְח֥וֹלֵֽל לֽוֹ׃

15"So now, if he doesn't inflict punishment in his anger, then he doesn't keep track of your many transgressions.

15וְעַתָּ֗ה כִּי־ אַ֭יִן פָּקַ֣ד אַפּ֑וֹ וְלֹֽא־ יָדַ֖ע בַּפַּ֣שׁ מְאֹֽד׃

16When he began speaking, he communicated only worthlessness; he added words upon words without knowing anything."

16וְ֭אִיּוֹב הֶ֣בֶל יִפְצֶה־ פִּ֑יהוּ בִּבְלִי־ דַ֝֗עַת מִלִּ֥ין יַכְבִּֽר׃ פ
