Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1Moreover Elihu answered,
1ΥΠΟΛΑΒΩΝ δὲ Ἐλιοὺς λέγει·
2“Do you think this to be your right, or do you say, ‘My righteousness is more than God’s,’
2τί τοῦτο ἡγήσω ἐν κρίσει; σὺ τίς εἶ ὅτι εἶπας· δίκαιός εἰμι ἔναντι Κυρίου;
3that you ask, ‘What advantage will it be to you? What profit will I have, more than if I had sinned?’
3ἐγώ σοι δώσω ἀπόκρισιν καὶ τοῖς τρισὶ φίλοις σου.
4I will answer you, and your companions with you.
4ἀνάβλεψον εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ ἰδέ, κατάμαθε δὲ νέφη ὡς ὑψηλὰ ἀπὸ σοῦ.
5Look to the skies, and see. See the skies, which are higher than you.
5εἰ ἥμαρτες, τί πράξεις; εἰ δὲ καὶ πολλὰ ἠνόμησας, τί δύνασαι ποιῆσαι;
6If you have sinned, what effect do you have against him? If your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him?
no verse 6 in this text
7If you are righteous, what do you give him? Or what does he receive from your hand?
7ἐπεὶ δὲ οὖν δικαιος εἶ, τί δώσεις αὐτῷ; ἢ τί ἐκ χειρός σου λήψεται;
8Your wickedness may hurt a man as you are, and your righteousness may profit a son of man.
8ἀνδρὶ τῷ ὁμοίῳ σου ἡ ἀσέβειά σου, καὶ υἱῷ ἀνθρώπου ἡ δικαιοσύνη σου.
9“By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out. They cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty.
9ἀπὸ πλήθους συκοφαντούμενοι κεκράξονται, βοήσονται ἀπὸ βραχίονος πολλῶν.
10But no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night,
10καὶ οὐκ εἶπε· ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ Θεὸς ὁ ποιήσας με, ὁ κατατάσσων φυλακὰς νυκτερινάς,
11who teaches us more than the animals of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?’
11ὁ διορίζων με ἀπὸ τετραπόδων γῆς, ἀπὸ δὲ πετεινῶν οὐρανοῦ;
12There they cry, but no one answers, because of the pride of evil men.
12ἐκεῖ κεκράξονται, καὶ οὐ μὴ εἰσακούσῃ καὶ ἀπὸ ὕβρεως πονηρῶν.
13Surely God will not hear an empty cry, neither will the Almighty regard it.
13ἄτοπα γὰρ οὐ βούλεται ἰδεῖν ὁ Κύριος, αὐτὸς γὰρ ὁ Παντοκράτωρ
14How much less when you say you don’t see him. The cause is before him, and you wait for him!
14ὁρατής ἐστι τῶν συντελούντων τὰ ἄνομα καὶ σώσει με. κρίθητι δὲ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ, εἰ δύνασαι αὐτὸν αἰνέσαι, ὥς ἐστι.
15But now, because he has not visited in his anger, neither does he greatly regard arrogance,
15καὶ νῦν ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἐπισκεπτόμενος ὀργὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἔγνω παράπτωμά τι σφόδρα·
16therefore Job opens his mouth with empty talk, and he multiplies words without knowledge.”
16καὶ Ἰὼβ ματαίως ἀνοίγει τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ, ἐν ἀγνωσίᾳ ρήματα βαρύνει.
