STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 וַיַּעַן אֱלִיהוּ וַיֹּאמַר	1 Elihu spake moreover, and said,
2 הֲזֹאת חָשַׁבְתָּ לְמִשְׁפָּט אָמַרְתָּ צִדְקִי מֵאֵל	2 Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God's?
3 כִּי־תֹאמַר מַה־יִּסְכָּן־לָךְ מָה־אֹעִיל מֵחַטָּאתִי	3 For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?
4 אֲנִי אֲשִׁיבְךָ מִלִּין וְאֶת־רֵעֶיךָ עִמָּךְ	4 I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.
5 הַבֵּט שָׁמַיִם וּרְאֵה וְשׁוּר חָקִים גָּבְהוּ מִמֶּךָּ	5 Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou.
6 אִם־חָטָאתָ מַה־תִּפְעָל־בֹּו וְרַבּוּ פְשָׁעֶיךָ מַה־תַּעֲשֶׂה־לֹּו	6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?
7 אִם־צָדַקְתָּ מַה־תִּתֶּן־לֹו אֹו מַה־מִיָּדְךָ יִקָּח	7 If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand?
8 לְאִישׁ־כָּמֹוךָ רִשְׁעֶךָ וּלְבֶן־אָדָם צִדְקָתֶךָ	8 Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man.
9 מֵרֹב עֲשׁוּקִים יַזְעִיקוּ יְשַׁוְּעוּ מִזְּרֹועַ רַבִּים	9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.
10 וְלֹא־אָמַר אַיֵּה אֱלֹוהַּ עֹשָׂי נֹתֵן זְמִרֹות בַּלָּיְלָה	10 But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night;
11 מַלְּפֵנוּ מִבַּהֲמֹות אָרֶץ וּמֵעֹוף הַשָּׁמַיִם יְחַכְּמֵנוּ	11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?
12 שָׁם יִצְעֲקוּ וְלֹא יַעֲנֶה מִפְּנֵי גְּאֹון רָעִים	12 There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men.
13 אַךשְָׁ־וְא לֹא־יִשְׁמַע ׀ אֵל וְשַׁדַּי לֹא יְשׁוּרֶנָּה	13 Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.
14 אַף כִּי־תֹאמַר לֹא תְשׁוּרֶנּוּ דִּין לְפָנָיו וּתְחֹולֵל לֹו	14 Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him.
15 וְעַתָּה כִּי־אַיִן פָּקַד אַפֹּו וְלֹא־יָדַע בַּפַּשׁ מְאֹד	15 But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity:
16 וְאִיֹּוב הֶבֶל יִפְצֶה־פִּיהוּ בִּבְלִי־דַעַת מִלִּין יַכְבִּר׃ פ	16 Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.
