Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:

«How long will you speak these things, And the words of your mouth be like a strong wind?

Does God subvert judgment? Or does the Almighty pervert justice?

If your sons have sinned against Him, He has cast them away for their transgression.

If you would earnestly seek God And make your supplication to the Almighty,

If you were pure and upright, Surely now He would awake for you, And prosper your rightful dwelling place.

Though your beginning was small, Yet your latter end would increase abundantly.

«For inquire, please, of the former age, And consider the things discovered by their fathers;

For we were born yesterday, and know nothing, Because our days on earth are a shadow.

Will they not teach you and tell you, And utter words from their heart?

«Can the papyrus grow up without a marsh? Can the reeds flourish without water?

While it is yet green and not cut down, It withers before any other plant.

So are the paths of all who forget God; And the hope of the hypocrite shall perish,

Whose confidence shall be cut off, And whose trust is a spideŕs web.

He leans on his house, but it does not stand. He holds it fast, but it does not endure.

He grows green in the sun, And his branches spread out in his garden.

His roots wrap around the rock heap, And look for a place in the stones.

If he is destroyed from his place, Then it will deny him, saying, «I have not seen you.́

«Behold, this is the joy of His way, And out of the earth others will grow.

Behold, God will not cast away the blameless, Nor will He uphold the evildoers.

He will yet fill your mouth with laughing, And your lips with rejoicing.

Those who hate you will be clothed with shame, And the dwelling place of the wicked will come to nothing.»

Elihu further answered and said:

«Hear my words, you wise men; Give ear to me, you who have knowledge.

For the ear tests words As the palate tastes food.

Let us choose justice for ourselves; Let us know among ourselves what is good.

«For Job has said, «I am righteous, But God has taken away my justice;

Should I lie concerning my right? My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.́

What man is like Job, Who drinks scorn like water,

Who goes in company with the workers of iniquity, And walks with wicked men?

For he has said, «It profits a man nothing That he should delight in God.́

«Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding: Far be it from God to do wickedness, And from the Almighty to commit iniquity.

For He repays man according to his work, And makes man to find a reward according to his way.

Surely God will never do wickedly, Nor will the Almighty pervert justice.

Who gave Him charge over the earth? Or who appointed Him over the whole world?

If He should set His heart on it, If He should gather to Himself His Spirit and His breath,

All flesh would perish together, And man would return to dust.

«If you have understanding, hear this; Listen to the sound of my words:

Should one who hates justice govern? Will you condemn Him who is most just?

Is it fitting to say to a king, «You are worthless,́ And to nobles, «You are wicked́?

Yet He is not partial to princes, Nor does He regard the rich more than the poor; For they are all the work of His hands.

In a moment they die, in the middle of the night; The people are shaken and pass away; The mighty are taken away without a hand.

«For His eyes are on the ways of man, And He sees all his steps.

There is no darkness nor shadow of death Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.

For He need not further consider a man, That he should go before God in judgment.

He breaks in pieces mighty men without inquiry, And sets others in their place.

Therefore He knows their works; He overthrows them in the night, And they are crushed.

He strikes them as wicked men In the open sight of others,

Because they turned back from Him, And would not consider any of His ways,

So that they caused the cry of the poor to come to Him; For He hears the cry of the afflicted.

When He gives quietness, who then can make trouble? And when He hides His face, who then can see Him, Whether it is against a nation or a man alone?--

That the hypocrite should not reign, Lest the people be ensnared.

«For has anyone said to God, «I have borne chastening; I will offend no more;

Teach me what I do not see; If I have done iniquity, I will do no moré?

Should He repay it according to your terms, Just because you disavow it? You must choose, and not I; Therefore speak what you know.

«Men of understanding say to me, Wise men who listen to me:

«Job speaks without knowledge, His words are without wisdom.́

Oh, that Job were tried to the utmost, Because his answers are like those of wicked men!

For he adds rebellion to his sin; He claps his hands among us, And multiplies his words against God.»
