And Elihu hath waited earnestly beside Job with words, for they are older than he in days.

Every man, no doubt, hath a mind; but it is the inspiration of the Almighty that giveth understanding.

lest ye should praise yourselves, to have found out wisdom: because it is God that hath cast him out, and no man.

And he hath not set in array words for me, And with your sayings I do not answer him.

For I have been full of words, Distressed me hath the spirit of my breast,

Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; like new flasks, it is ready to burst.

Lo, I pray thee, I have opened my mouth, My tongue hath spoken in the palate.

The Spirit of God hath made me, And the breath of the Mighty doth quicken me.

But lo, he hath picked a quarrel against me, and taketh me for his enemy:

He hath put my foot in the stocks, and looketh narrowly unto all my paths.'

And he hath been reproved With pain on his bed, And the strife of his bones is enduring.

And his life hath nauseated bread, And his soul desirable food.

If there hath been near him a messenger who could interpret - one of a thousand, to declare to the son of earth His uprightness,

Then hath he shewed him favour, and said, Set him free from going down to the pit, I have found a price of redemption!

His flesh hath been made fresher than a child's, he hath returned to the days of his youth;

He made supplication unto GOD, who hath accepted him, and he hath beheld his face with a shout of triumph, Thus hath he given back to man his righteousness.

He looketh on men, and saith, 'I sinned, And uprightness I have perverted, And it hath not been profitable to me.

He hath ransomed my soul From going over into the pit, And my life on the light looketh.'

For Job hath said, 'I have been righteous, And God hath turned aside my right,

And he hath travelled for company With workers of iniquity, So as to go with men of wickedness.

For he hath said, 'It doth not profit a man, When he delighteth himself with God.'

Who hath inspected for Himself the earth? And who hath placed all the habitable world?

To whom hath he given his heart, for to draw his spirit and breath unto him?

Who hath said to a king -- 'Worthless,' Unto princes -- 'Wicked?'

That hath not accepted the person of princes, Nor hath known the rich before the poor, For a work of His hands are all of them.

Therefore He knoweth their works, And He hath overturned by night, And they are bruised.

As wicked He hath stricken them, In the place of beholders.

For unto God hath any said: 'I have taken away, I do not corruptly,

Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were not with intelligence.

O father let Job be well tried, because he hath turned himself to the wicked:

yea, above his sins he hath blasphemed, which offense he hath done even before us, in that he striveth against God with his words!"

And, now, because there is not, He hath appointed His anger, And He hath not known in great extremity.

For Job hath opened his mouth in vanity, and made words abundant without knowledge.

He will not withdraw - from a righteous one - his eyes, - but, with kings on the throne, He hath seated men triumphantly, and they have been exalted.

Then hath he declared to them their deed, and their transgressions - that they were wont to behave themselves proudly;

Thus hath he uncovered their ear to a warning, and said - that they should turn from iniquity.

And the profane in heart set the face, They cry not when He hath bound them.

And also He moved thee from a strait place, To a broad place -- no straitness under it, And the sitting beyond of thy table Hath been full of fatness.

Doth He value thy riches? He hath gold, and all the forces of power.

Who hath appointed unto Him his way? And who said, 'Thou hast done iniquity?'

Every son of earth, hath viewed it, Mortal man, looketh at it from afar.

Lo, He hath spread over it His light, And the roots of the sea He hath covered,

By two palms He hath covered the light, And layeth a charge over it in meeting,

He sealeth up the hand of every man, That all men whom he hath made may know it .

So then the wild-beast hath gone into covert, and, in its lairs, doth it remain.

Dost thou know how +God hath disposed them, and how he causeth the lightning of his cloud to flash?

Is it declared to Him that I speak? If a man hath spoken, surely he is swallowed up.

And now, they have not seen the light, Bright it is in the clouds, And the wind hath passed by and cleanseth them.

Out of the north cometh golden splendor: God hath upon him terrible majesty.

Who placed its measures -- if thou knowest? Or who hath stretched out upon it a line?

On what have its sockets been sunk? Or who hath cast its corner-stone?

Hath thine understanding compassed the breadths of the earth? Declare if thou knowest it all.

Who hath divided for the flood a conduit? And a way for the lightning of the voices?

Hath the rain a father? Or who hath begotten the drops of dew?

From whose belly came forth the ice? And the hoar-frost of the heavens, Who hath begotten it?

Who hath put in the inward parts wisdom? Or who hath given To the covered part understanding?

Who hath sent forth the wild ass free? Yea, the bands of the wild ass who opened?

And hath forgotten, that, a foot, may crush them, - or, the wild beast, tread on them!

Her young ones it hath hardened without her, In vain is her labour without fear.

For God hath caused her to forget wisdom, And He hath not given a portion To her in understanding:

From thence he hath sought food, To a far off place his eyes look attentively,

Then will I confess also, that thy own righthand hath saved thee.

lo, how strong he is in his loins, and what power he hath in the navel of his body.

Lo! any hope of him, hath been found deceptive, Even at the sight of him, shall not one be overwhelmed?

Who hath brought before Me and I repay? Under the whole heavens it is mine.

Who hath uncovered the face of his clothing? Within his double bridle who doth enter?

The doors of his face who hath opened? Round about his teeth are terrible.

There is not - upon the dust - his like, that hath been made to be without fear;

By the hearing of the ear I heard Thee, And now mine eye hath seen Thee.

And it cometh to pass after Jehovah's speaking these words unto Job, that Jehovah saith unto Eliphaz the Temanite, 'Burned hath Mine anger against thee, and against thy two friends, because ye have not spoken concerning Me rightly, like My servant Job.

Now therefore, take unto you seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt-offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you; for him will I accept, that I deal not with you after your folly; for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.

And they go -- Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, Zophar the Naamathite -- and do as Jehovah hath spoken unto them; and Jehovah doth accept the face of Job.

And Jehovah hath turned to the captivity of Job in his praying for his friends, and Jehovah doth add to all that Job hath -- to double.

And Jehovah hath blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning, and he hath fourteen thousand of a flock, and six thousand camels, and a thousand pairs of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.

And he hath seven sons and three daughters;
