Therefore I will not restrain my mouth.
I will speak in the anguish of my spirit;
I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.

It is all the same. Therefore I say,
“He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.”

You have closed their minds to understanding,
therefore You will not honor them.

Nothing is left for him to consume;
therefore, his prosperity will not last.

Therefore snares surround you,
and sudden dread terrifies you,

Therefore I am terrified in His presence;
when I consider this, I am afraid of Him.

So Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite replied:

I am young in years,
while you are old;
therefore I was timid and afraid
to tell you what I know.

Therefore I say, “Listen to me.
I too will declare what I know.”

Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding.
It is impossible for God to do wrong,
and for the Almighty to act unjustly.

Therefore, He recognizes their deeds
and overthrows them by night, and they are crushed.

Therefore, men fear Him.
He does not look favorably on any who are wise in heart.

Therefore I take back my words
and repent in dust and ashes.
