¹Elihu spake moreover, and said,

¹Še spregovori Elihu in reče:

²Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God's?

²Meniš li, da je to prav? Rekel si: Pravičnost moja je večja nego Boga mogočnega.

³For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?

³Kajti vprašuješ, kaj hasni tebi? „Kaj pridobim več, nego ko bi grešil?“

⁴I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.

⁴Jaz ti odgovorim besede in tvojim tovarišem s teboj.

⁵Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou.

⁵Ozri se proti nebu in glej in ogleduj nebeški obok – višji je nego ti.

⁶If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?

⁶Če grešiš, kaj Mu škodiš? in če se množe prestopki tvoji, kaj Mu prizadeneš?

⁷If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand?

⁷Če si pravičen, kaj Mu daješ? ali kaj prejemlje iz roke tvoje?

⁸Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man.

⁸Možu, kakor si sam, more škoditi tvoja brezbožnost in sinu človeškemu koristiti tvoja pravičnost.

⁹By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.

⁹Zaradi mnogega nasilstva vpijejo, kriče za pomoč zaradi rame mogočnežev.

¹⁰But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night;

¹⁰A nihče ne pravi: Kje je Bog, Stvarnik moj, ki daje hvalospeve po noči,

¹¹Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?

¹¹ki nas bolj poučuje nego živali zemeljske in nam več modrosti daje nego pticam nebeškim.

¹²There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men.

¹²Ondi vpijejo zaradi napuha hudobnih, a On ne odgovarja.

¹³Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.

¹³Samo praznega vpitja ne sliši Bog silni in Vsegamogočni se nanje ne ozira.

¹⁴Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him.

¹⁴Če praviš tudi, da Ga ne vidiš – pravda tvoja je pred Njim, Ga le čakaj!

¹⁵But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity:

¹⁵In sedaj, ker še ni kaznoval srd njegov, ne pozna li dobro drzovitosti tvoje?Zatorej brezuspešno odpira Job usta svoja, množi besede brez spoznanja.

¹⁶Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.

¹⁶Zatorej brezuspešno odpira Job usta svoja, množi besede brez spoznanja.
