1	Furthermore Elihu answered# and said# ,
			2	Hear# my words, O ye wise men ; and give ear# unto me, ye that have knowledge# .
			3	For the ear trieth# words, as the mouth tasteth# meat# . [mouth: Heb. palate]
			4	Let us choose# to us judgment: let us know# among ourselves what is good.
			5	For Job hath said# , I am righteous# : and God hath taken away# my judgment.
			6	Should I lie# against my right? my wound is incurable# without transgression. [my wound: Heb. mine arrow]
			7	What man is like Job, who drinketh up# scorning like water?
			8	Which goeth# in company with the workers# of iniquity, and walketh# with wicked men.
			9	For he hath said# , It profiteth# a man nothing that he should delight# himself with God.
			10	Therefore hearken# unto me, ye men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity. [men...: Heb. men of heart]
			11	For the work of a man shall he render# unto him, and cause every man to find# according to his ways.
			12	Yea, surely God will not do wickedly# , neither will the Almighty pervert# judgment.
			13	Who hath given him a charge# over the earth? or who hath disposed# the whole world? [the whole: Heb. all of it?]
			14	If he set# his heart upon man, if he gather# unto himself his spirit and his breath; [man: Heb. him]
			15	All flesh shall perish# together, and man shall turn again# unto dust.
			16	If now thou hast understanding, hear# this: hearken# to the voice of my words.
			17	Shall even he that hateth# right govern# ? and wilt thou condemn# him that is most just? [govern: Heb. bind?]
			18	Is it fit to say# to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes, Ye are ungodly?
			19	How much less to him that accepteth# not the persons of princes, nor regardeth# the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work of his hands.
			20	In a moment shall they die# , and the people shall be troubled# at midnight# , and pass away# : and the mighty shall be taken away# without hand. [the mighty...: Heb. they shall take away the mighty]
			21	For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth# all his goings.
			22	There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers# of iniquity may hide# themselves.
			23	For he will not lay# upon man more than right ; that he should enter# into judgment with God. [enter: Heb. go]
			24	He shall break in pieces# mighty men without number, and set# others in their stead. [number: Heb. searching out]
			25	Therefore he knoweth# their works, and he overturneth# them in the night, so that they are destroyed# . [destroyed: Heb. crushed]
			26	He striketh# them as wicked men in the open sight# of others; [open...: Heb. place of beholders]
			27	Because they turned back# from him, and would not consider# any of his ways: [him: Heb. after him]
			28	So that they cause the cry of the poor to come# unto him, and he heareth# the cry of the afflicted.
			29	When he giveth quietness# , who then can make trouble# ? and when he hideth# his face, who then can behold# him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only:
			30	That the hypocrite# reign# not, lest the people be ensnared.
			31	Surely it is meet to be said# unto God, I have borne# chastisement , I will not offend# any more :
			32	That which I see# not teach# thou me: if I have done# iniquity, I will do# no more.
			33	Should it be according to thy mind? he will recompense# it, whether thou refuse# # , or whether thou choose# ; and not I: therefore speak# what thou knowest# . [according...: Heb. from with thee?]
			34	Let men of understanding tell# me, and let a wise man hearken# unto me. [of...: Heb. of heart]
			35	Job hath spoken# without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom# .
			36	My desire# # is that Job may be tried# unto the end because of his answers for wicked men. [My...: or, My father, let Job be tried]
			37	For he addeth# rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth# his hands among us, and multiplieth# his words against God.
