1 וַיַּעַן אֱלִיהוּ וַיֹּאמַר1 Moreover Eliu spoke these words :
2 הֲזֹאת חָשַׁבְתָּ לְמִשְׁפָּט אָמַרְתָּ צִדְקִי מֵאֵל2 Doth thy thought seem right to thee, that thou shouldst say : I am more just than God?
3 כִּי־תֹאמַר מַה־יִּסְכָּן־לָךְ מָה־אֹעִיל מֵחַטָּאתִי3 For thou saidst : That which is right doth not please thee : or what will it profit thee if I sin?
4 אֲנִי אֲשִׁיבְךָ מִלִּין וְאֶת־רֵעֶיךָ עִמָּךְ4 Therefore I will answer thy words, and thy friends with thee.
5 הַבֵּט שָׁמַיִם וּרְאֵה וְשׁוּר חָקִים גָּבְהוּ מִמֶּךָּ5 Look up to heaven and see, and behold the sky, that it is higher than thee.
6 אִם־חָטָאתָ מַה־תִּפְעָל־בֹּו וְרַבּוּ פְשָׁעֶיךָ מַה־תַּעֲשֶׂה־לֹּו6 If thou sin, what shalt thou hurt him? and if thy iniquities be multiplied, what shalt thou do against him?
7 אִם־צָדַקְתָּ מַה־תִּתֶּן־לֹו אֹו מַה־מִיָּדְךָ יִקָּח7 And if thou do justly, what shalt thou give him, or what shall he receive of thy hand?
8 לְאִישׁ־כָּמֹוךָ רִשְׁעֶךָ וּלְבֶן־אָדָם צִדְקָתֶךָ8 Thy wickedness may hurt a man that is like thee : and thy justice may help the son of man.
9 מֵרֹב עֲשׁוּקִים יַזְעִיקוּ יְשַׁוְּעוּ מִזְּרֹועַ רַבִּים9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they shall cry out : and shall wail for the violence of the arm of tyrants.
10 וְלֹא־אָמַר אַיֵּה אֱלֹוהַּ עֹשָׂי נֹתֵן זְמִרֹות בַּלָּיְלָה10 And he hath not said : Where is God, who made me, who hath given songs in the night?
11 מַלְּפֵנוּ מִבַּהֲמֹות אָרֶץ וּמֵעֹוף הַשָּׁמַיִם יְחַכְּמֵנוּ11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and instructeth us more than the fowls of the air.
12 שָׁם יִצְעֲקוּ וְלֹא יַעֲנֶה מִפְּנֵי גְּאֹון רָעִים12 There shall they cry, and he will not hear, because of the pride of evil men.
13 אַךשְָׁ־וְא לֹא־יִשְׁמַע ׀ אֵל וְשַׁדַּי לֹא יְשׁוּרֶנָּה13 God therefore will not hear in vain, and the Almighty will look into the causes of every one.
14 אַף כִּי־תֹאמַר לֹא תְשׁוּרֶנּוּ דִּין לְפָנָיו וּתְחֹולֵל לֹו14 Yea when thou shalt say : He considereth not : be judged before him, and expect him.
15 וְעַתָּה כִּי־אַיִן פָּקַד אַפֹּו וְלֹא־יָדַע בַּפַּשׁ מְאֹד15 For he doth not now bring on his fury, neither doth he revenge wickedness exceedingly.
16 וְאִיֹּוב הֶבֶל יִפְצֶה־פִּיהוּ בִּבְלִי־דַעַת מִלִּין יַכְבִּר׃ פ16 Therefore Job openeth his mouth in vain, and multiplieth words without knowledge.
