1. Moreover Elihu answered and said,
2. Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than ·God's?
3. For thou hast asked of what profit it is unto thee: what do I gain more than if I had sinned?
4. I will reply to thee in words, and to thy companions with thee.
5. Look unto the heavens and see; and survey the skies: they are higher than thou.
6. If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? If thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?
7. If thou be righteous, what givest thou to him? or what doth he receive of thy hand?
8. Thy wickedness may affect a man as thou art, and thy righteousness a son of man.
