So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.

Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram: against Job was his wrath aroused, because he justified himself rather than God.

Also against his three friends was his wrath aroused, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.

By whom were its measures fixed? Say, if you have wisdom; or by whom was the line stretched out over it?

Where wast thou, when the morning stars praised me together, and all the children of God rejoiced triumphantly?

And gather it from your threshing floor?

I am weary of my groaning; every night wash I my bed, and water my couch with my tears.

If I have rewarded evil to him that was at peace with me; (indeed I have freed him that without cause oppressed me;)

The Lord made thunder in the heavens, and the voice of the Highest was sounding out: a rain of ice and fire.

LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.
