Again Eliu chargeth Job with blasphemy, and other crimes: 10. sheweth the equity of God's judgement: 20. and that all things are subject to God's power and knowledge.Againe Eliu chargeth Iob with blasphemie, and other crimes, 10. sheweth the equitie of Gods iudgement: 20. and that al thinges are subiect to Gods powre and knowlege.✦
Eliu therefore pronouncing, spake these words also.ELIV therfore pronouncing, spake these wordes also.Pronuntians itaque Eliu, etiam hæc locutus est :
2Hear ye wise men my words, and ye learned harken to me:Heare ye wise men my wordes, and ye learned harken to me:✦Audite, sapientes, verba mea : et eruditi, auscultate me.
3For the ear probat: tries, tests words, and the throat discerneth meats by the taste.For the eare proueth wordes, and the threate discerneth meates by the tast.Auris enim verba probat, et guttur escas gustu dijudicat.
4Let us choose us judgement, and among us let us see what is the better.Let vs choose vs iudgement, and among vs let vs see what is the better.✦Judicium eligamus nobis, et inter nos videamus quid sit melius.
5Because Job said: I am just, and God hath subverted my judgement.Because Iob sayd: I am iust, and God hath subuerted my iudgement.✦Quia dixit Job : Justus sum, et Deus subvertit judicium meum.
6For in judging me there is a lie: mine arrow is violent without any sin.For in iudging me there is a lie: mine arrow is violent without anie sinne.In judicando enim me mendacium est : violenta sagitta mea absque ullo peccato.
7What man is there as is Job, that drinketh scorning as it were water?What man is there as is Iob, that drinketh skorning as it were water?✦Quis est vir ut est Job, qui bibit subsannationem quasi aquam :
8That goeth with them that work iniquity, and walketh with impious men?That goeth with them that worke iniquitie, and walketh with impious men?qui graditur cum operantibus iniquitatem, et ambulat cum viris impiis ?
9For he hath said: Man shall not please God although he run with him.For he hath sayd: Man shal not please God although he runne with him.✦Dixit enim : Non placebit vir Deo, etiam si cucurrerit cum eo.
10Therefore ye cordati: prudent, sensible men hear me, far from God be impiety, and iniquity from the Omnipotent.Therfore ye discrete men heare me, far from God be impietie, and iniquitie from the Omnipotent.✦Ideo, viri cordati, audite me : absit a Deo impietas, et ab Omnipotente iniquitas.
11For he will render a man his work, and according to the ways of every one he will recompense them.For he wil render a man his worke, and according to the waies of euerie one he wil recompence them.Opus enim hominis reddet ei, et juxta vias singulorum restituet eis.
12For in very deed God will not condemn without cause, neither will the Omnipotent subvert judgement.For in verie deed God wil not condemne without cause, neither wil the Omnipotent subuert iudgement.✦Vere enim Deus non condemnabit frustra, nec Omnipotens subvertet judicium.
13What other hath he appointed over the earth? or whom hath he set over the world, which he made?What other hath he appointed ouer the earth? or whom hath he sette ouer the world, which he made?✦Quem constituit alium super terram ? aut quem posuit super orbem quem fabricatus est ?
14If he direct his heart to him, he shall draw his spirit and breath unto him.If he direct his hart to him, he shal drawe his spirit and breath vnto him.✦Si direxerit ad eum cor suum, spiritum illius et flatum ad se trahet.
15All flesh shall fail together, and man shall return into ashes.Al flesh shal faile together, and man shal returne into ashes.✦Deficiet omnis caro simul, et homo in cinerem revertetur.
16If then thou have understanding, hear that is said, and harken to the voice of my speech.If then thou haue vnderstanding, heare that is sayd, and harken to the voice of my speach.✦Si habes ergo intellectum, audi quod dicitur, et ausculta vocem eloquii mei :
17Can he that loveth not judgement, be healed? and how doest thou so far condemn him, that is just?Can he that loueth not iudgement, be healed? and how doest thou so far condemne him, that is iust?✦numquid qui non amat judicium sanari potest ? et quomodo tu eum qui justus est in tantum condemnas ?
18That sayeth to the king, Apostata: apostate, rebel: that calleth duces: nobles of ducal rank; leaders, chieftains impious:That sayth to the king, Apostata: that calleth dukes impious:✦Qui dicit regi : Apostata ; qui vocat duces impios ;
19Who accepteth not the persons of princes: nor hath known the tyrant, when he contended against the poor man: for all are the work of his hands.Who accepteth not the persones of princes: nor hath knowen the tyrant, when he contended against the poore man: for al are the worke of his handes.qui non accipit personas principum, nec cognovit tyrannum cum disceptaret contra pauperem : opus enim manuum ejus sunt universi.
20They shall suddenly die, and at midnight peoples shall be troubled, and shall pass, and take away the violent without hand.They shal sodenly die, and at midnight peoples shal be trubled, and shal passe, and take away the violent without hand.✦Subito morientur, et in media nocte turbabuntur populi : et pertransibunt, et auferent violentum absque manu.
21For his eyes are upon the ways of men, and he considereth all their steps.For his eies are vpon the waies of men, and he considereth al their steppes.✦Oculi enim ejus super vias hominum, et omnes gressus eorum considerat.
22There is not darkness, and there is not shadow of death, that they may be hid there which work iniquity.There is not darkenesse, and there is not shadow of death, that they may be hid there which worke iniquitie.✦Non sunt tenebræ, et non est umbra mortis, ut abscondantur ibi qui operantur iniquitatem,
23For it is no more in man's power, to come to God into judgement.For it is no more in mans powre, to come to God into iudgement.✦neque enim ultra in hominis potestate est, ut veniat ad Deum in judicium.
24He shall destroy many, and innumerable, and shall make other to stand for them.He shal destroy manie, & innumerable, & shal make other to stand for them.✦Conteret multos, et innumerabiles, et stare faciet alios pro eis.

29For he granting peace, who is there that can condemn? After he hide his countenance, who is there that may behold him, both upon nations, and upon all men?For he granting peace, who is there that can condemne? After he hide his countenance, who is there that may behold him, both vpon nations, and vpon al men?✦Ipso enim concedente pacem, quis est qui condemnet ? ex quo absconderit vultum, quis est qui contempletur eum, et super gentes, et super omnes homines ?
30Who maketh a man that is an hypocrite reign for the sins of the people.Who maketh a man that is an hypocrite reigne for the sinnes of the people.✦Qui regnare facit hominem hypocritam propter peccata populi.
