Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1And Elihu went on to say:
1Ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ἐλιοὺς, λέγει,
2“Do you think this is just? You say, ‘I am more righteous than God.’
2Τί τοῦτο ἡγήσω ἐν κρίσει; σὺ τίς εἶ, ὅτι εἶπας, δίκαιός εἰμι ἔναντι Κυρίου;
3For you ask, ‘What does it profit me, and what benefit do I gain apart from sin?’
no verse 3 in this text
4I will reply to you and to your friends as well.
4Ἐγώ σοι δώσω ἀπόκρισιν, καὶ τοῖς τρισὶ φίλοις σου.
5Look to the heavens and see; gaze at the clouds high above you.
5Ἀνάβλεψον εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν, καὶ ἴδε· κατάμαθε δὲ νέφη, ὡς ὑψηλὰ ἀπὸ σοῦ.
6If you sin, what do you accomplish against Him? If you multiply your transgressions, what do you do to Him?
6Εἰ ἥμαρτες, τί πράξεις; εἰ δὲ καὶ πολλὰ ἠνόμησας, τί δύνασαι ποιῆσαι;
7If you are righteous, what do you give Him, or what does He receive from your hand?
7Ἐπεὶ δὲ οὖν δίκαιος εἶ, τί δώσεις αὐτῷ; ἢ τί ἐκ χειρός σου λήψεται;
8Your wickedness affects only a man like yourself, and your righteousness only a son of man.
8Ἀνδρὶ τῷ ὁμοίῳ σου ἡ ἀσέβειά σου, καὶ υἱῷ ἀνθρώπου ἡ δικαιοσύνη σου.
9Men cry out under great oppression; they plead for relief from the arm of the mighty.
9Ἀπὸ πλήθους συκοφαντούμενοι κεκράξονται, βοήσονται ἀπὸ βραχίονος πολλῶν.
10But no one asks, ‘Where is God my Maker, who gives us songs in the night,
10Καὶ οὐκ εἶπε, ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ Θεὸς ὁ ποιήσας με, ὁ κατατάσσων φυλακὰς νυκτερινὰς,
11who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth and makes us wiser than the birds of the air?’
11ὁ διορίζων με ἀπὸ τετραπόδων γῆς, ἀπὸ δὲ πετεινῶν οὐρανοῦ;
12There they cry out, but He does not answer, because of the pride of evil men.
12Ἐκεῖ κεκράξονται, καὶ οὐ μὴ εἰσακούσῃ, καὶ ἀπὸ ὕβρεως πονηρῶν.
13Surely God does not listen to empty pleas, and the Almighty does not take note of it.
13Ἄτοπα γὰρ οὐ βούλεται ἰδεῖν ὁ Κύριος, αὐτὸς γὰρ ὁ παντοκράτωρ.
14How much less, then, when you say that you do not see Him, that your case is before Him and you must wait for Him,
14Ὁρατής ἐστι τῶν συντελούντων τὰ ἄνομα, καὶ σώσει με· κρίθητι δὲ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ, εἰ δύνασαι αὐτὸν αἰνέσαι, ὡς ἔστι καὶ νῦν.
15and further, that in His anger He has not punished or taken much notice of folly!
15“Ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἐπισκεπτόμενος ὀργὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἔγνω παράπτωμά τι σφόδρα·
16So Job opens his mouth in vain and multiplies words without knowledge.”
16καὶ Ἰὼβ ματαίως ἀνοίγει τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ, ἐν ἀγνωσίᾳ ῥήματα βαρύνει.
