1<\/sup>After this, Eliu again spoke in this way:<\/span> <\/p>\n 2<\/sup>Does it seem right to you in your thoughts, that you should say, “I am more just than God?”<\/span> <\/p>\n 3<\/sup>For you said, “Having done what is right does not please you,” and, “How will it benefit you, if I sin?”<\/span> <\/p>\n 4<\/sup>And so, I will respond to your words, and to your friends who are with you.<\/span> <\/p>\n 5<\/sup>Look up towards heaven and consider; also, think about the sky, which is higher than you.<\/span> <\/p>\n 6<\/sup>If you sin, how will it hurt him? And if your iniquities are multiplied, what will you do against him?<\/span> <\/p>\n 7<\/sup>Furthermore, if you act justly, what will you give him, or what will he receive from your hand?<\/span> <\/p>\n 8<\/sup>Your impiety may hurt a man who is like you, though your justice may help the son of the man.<\/span> <\/p>\n 9<\/sup>Because of the multitude of false accusers, they will cry out; and they will lament because of the strong arm of the tyrants.<\/span> <\/p>\n 10<\/sup>Yet he has not said: “Where is God, who made me, who has given songs in the night,<\/span> <\/p>\n 11<\/sup>who teaches us in addition to the beasts of the earth, and who educates us along with the birds of the air?”<\/span> <\/p>\n 12<\/sup>There they will cry, and he will not heed them, because of the arrogance of the wicked.<\/span> <\/p>\n 13<\/sup>Therefore, God does not hear in vain, and the Almighty will look into each and every case.<\/span> <\/p>\n 14<\/sup>And so, when you say, “He does not examine,” be judged before him, but wait for him.<\/span> <\/p>\n 15<\/sup>For, at the present time, he does not bring forth his fury, nor does he punish sin exceedingly.<\/span> <\/p>\n 16<\/sup>Therefore, Job has opened his mouth in vain and has multiplied words without knowledge.<\/span> <\/p>\n
