New American Standard Bible 2020

Elihu Claims to Speak for God

1“HoweverH199, pleaseH4994 1hearH8085 my speechH4405, JobH347, And listenH238 to allH3605 my wordsH1697.2BeholdH2009 nowH4994, I openH6605 my mouthH6310, My tongueH3956 in my 2mouthH2441 speaksH1696.3My wordsH561 are from the integrityH3476 of my heartH3820, And my lipsH8193 speakH4448 3knowledgeH1847 sincerelyH1305.4The 4SpiritH7307 of GodH410 has madeH6213 me, And the 5breathH5397 of 6the AlmightyH7706 givesH2421 me lifeH2421.57RefuteH7725 me ifH518 you canH3201; LineH6186 upH6186 againstH6440 me, takeH3320 your standH3320.6BeholdH2005, I belong to GodH410, like you; I tooH1571 have been 8formedH7169 outH7169 of the 9clayH2563.7BeholdH2009, 10noH3808 fearH367 of me should terrifyH1204 you, NorH3808 should my pressureH405 weighH3513 heavilyH3513 on you.

8“You have inH389 factH389 spokenH559 11while I listenedH241, And I heardH8085 the soundH6963 of your wordsH4405:9‘I am 12pureH2134, 13withoutH1097 wrongdoingH6588; I am innocentH2643 and there 14is noH3808 guiltH5771 in me.10BeholdH2005, He 15inventsH4672 16criticismsH8569 againstH5921 me; He 17countsH2803 me as His enemyH340.11He 18putsH7760 my feetH7272 in the stocksH5465; He watchesH8104 allH3605 my pathsH734.’12BeholdH2005, let me respondH6030 to you, 19you areH6663 not rightH6663 in thisH2088, For GodH433 isH7235 greaterH7235 thanH4480 mankindH582.

13“WhyH4069 do you 20complainH7378 to Him That He does not giveH6030 an accountH6030 of allH3605 His doingsH1697?14IndeedH3588 21GodH410 speaksH1696 onceH259, Or twiceH8147, yet noH3808 one noticesH7789 it.15In a 22dreamH2472, a visionH2384 of the nightH3915, When deepH8639 sleepH8639 fallsH5307 on peopleH376, While they slumberH8572 in their bedsH4904,16ThenH227 23He opensH1540 the earsH241 of peopleH376, And horrifiesH2865 them with warningsH4148,17So that He may turnH5493 a personH120 awayH5493 from bad conductH4639, And 24keepH3680 a manH1397 from prideH1466;18He 25keepsH2820 his soulH5315 backH2820 from the pitH7845, And his lifeH2421 from perishingH5674 by the 26spearH7973.

19“A person is also rebukedH3198 by 27painH4341 in his bedH4904, And with constantH386 complaintH7379 in his bonesH6106,20So that his lifeH2421 28loathesH2092 breadH3899, And his soulH5315, foodH3978 29that he should craveH8378.21His 30fleshH1320 wastesH3615 awayH3615 from sightH7210, And his 31bonesH6106, which were not seenH7210, stickH8192 outH8192.22Then 32his soulH5315 comesH7126 nearH7126 to the pitH7845, And his lifeH2421 to those who bringH4191 deathH4191.

23“IfH518 thereH3426 isH3426 an 33intercedingH3917 angelH4397 for him, OneH259 out of a thousandH505, To remindH5046 a personH120 of whatH3476 isH3476 34rightH3476 for him,24And he isH2603 graciousH2603 to him, and saysH559, ‘FreeH6308 him from 35goingH3381 downH3381 to the pitH7845, I have foundH4672 a 36ransomH3724’;25Let his fleshH1320 becomeH7375 fresherH7375 thanH4480 in youthH5290, Let him returnH7725 to the daysH3117 of his youthfulH5934 vigorH5934;26Then he will 37prayH6279 to GodH433, and He will acceptH7521 him, So that 38he may seeH7200 His faceH6440 with joyH8643, And He will restoreH7725 His righteousnessH6666 to that personH582.27He will singH7891 to peopleH376 and sayH559, ‘I 39have sinnedH2398 and pervertedH5753 whatH3477 isH3477 rightH3477, And it isH7737 not 40properH7737 for me.28He has redeemedH6299 my soulH5315 from goingH5674 to the pitH7845, And my lifeH2421 will 41seeH7200 the lightH216.’

29“BeholdH2005, GodH410 doesH6466 42allH3605 theseH428 things for a manH1397 twoH6471 or threeH7969 timesH6471,30To 43bringH7725 backH7725 his soulH5315 from the pitH7845, So that he may be enlightenedH215 with the lightH216 of lifeH2425.31PayH7181 attentionH7181, JobH347, listenH8085 to me; KeepH2790 silentH2790, and let me speakH1696.32Then ifH518 44you haveH3426 anythingH4405 toH4405 sayH4405, answerH7725 me; SpeakH1696, for I would takeH2654 pleasureH2654 in justifyingH6663 you.33IfH518 not, 45listenH8085 to me; KeepH2790 silentH2790, and I will teachH502 you wisdomH2451.”
