XXXIV] Elihu answered and said,
 * my words, O ye wise men;
 * And give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.
 * For the ear trieth words,
 * As the mouth tasteth meat.
 * Let us choose to us judgment:
 * Let us know among ourselves what is good.
 * For Job hath said, I am righteous:
 * And God hath taken away my judgment.
 * Should I lie against my right?
 * My wound is incurable without transgression.
 * What man is like Job,
 * Who drinketh up scorning like water?
 * Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity,
 * And walketh with wicked men.
 * For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing
 * That he should delight himself with God.
 * Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding:
 * Far be it from God, that he should do wickedness;
 * And from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.
 * For the work of a man shall he render unto him,
 * And cause every man to find according to his ways.
 * Yea, surely God will not do wickedly,
 * Neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.
