1. Moreover Elihu answered and said,
2. Hear my words, ye wise men; And give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.
3. For the ear trieth words, As the palate tasteth food.
4. Let us choose for us that which is right: Let us know among ourselves what is good.
5. For Job hath said, I am righteous, And God hath taken away my right:
6. Notwithstanding my right I am accounted a liar; My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.
7. What man is like Job, Who drinketh up scoffing like water,
8. Who goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, And walketh with wicked men?
9. For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing That he should delight himself with God.
10. Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: Far be it from God, that he should do wickedness, And from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.
11. For the work of a man will he render unto him, And cause every man to find according to his ways.
