1. And Eliu continued his discourse, and said:
2. Hear ye, wise men, my words, and ye learned, hearken to me:
3. For the ear trieth words, and the mouth discerneth meats by the taste.
4. Let us choose to us judgment, and let us see among ourselves what is the best.
5. For Job hath said: I am just, and God hath overthrown my judgment.
6. For in judging me there is a lie: my arrow is violent without any sin.
7. What man is there like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water?
8. Who goeth in company with them that work iniquity, and walketh with wicked men?
9. For he hath said: Man shall not please God, although he run with him.
10. Therefore, ye men of understanding, hear me: far from god be wickedness, and iniquity from the Almighty.
11. For he will render to a man his work, and according to the ways of every one he will reward them.
