18:035:001 Elihu spake moreover, and said,

18:035:002 Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My
           righteousness is more than God’s?

18:035:003 For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and,
           What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?

18:035:004 I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.

18:035:005 Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which
           are higher than thou.

18:035:006 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy
           transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?

18:035:007 If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth
           he of thine hand?

18:035:008 Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy
           righteousness may profit the son of man.

18:035:009 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the
           oppressed to cry:  they cry out by reason of the arm of the
           mighty.

18:035:010 But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the
           night;

18:035:011 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh
           us wiser than the fowls of heaven?

18:035:012 There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride
           of evil men.

18:035:013 Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty
           regard it.

18:035:014 Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is
           before him; therefore trust thou in him.

18:035:015 But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger;
           yet he knoweth it not in great extremity: 

18:035:016 Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth
           words without knowledge.

18:036:001 Elihu also proceeded, and said,

18:036:002 Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that I have yet to
           speak on God’s behalf.

18:036:003 I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe
           righteousness to my Maker.

18:036:004 For truly my words shall not be false:  he that is perfect in
           knowledge is with thee.

18:036:005 Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any:  he is mighty in
           strength and wisdom.

18:036:006 He preserveth not the life of the wicked:  but giveth right to
           the poor.

18:036:007 He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous:  but with kings
           are they on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever,
           and they are exalted.

18:036:008 And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of
           affliction;

18:036:009 Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that
           they have exceeded.
