² And Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, was angry, burning with wrath against Job, because he seemed to himself more right than God;

²¹ Uz the oldest, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel, the father of Aram,

⁸ Let them be covered together in the dust; let their faces be dark in the secret place of the underworld.

² Does it seem to you to be right, and righteousness before God, to say,

⁵ Let it be far from me! I will certainly not say that you are right! I will come to death before I give up my righteousness.

²⁶ Be angry without doing wrong; let not the sun go down on your wrath;

²⁹ But he, desiring to put himself in the right, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

⁵ And looking round on them he was angry, being sad because of their hard hearts; and he said to the man, Put out your hand. And he put it out, and his hand was made well.

⁹ I am on fire with passion for your house; and the hard things which are said about you have come on me.

¹⁷ How may a hater of right be a ruler? and will you say that the upright Ruler of all is evil?

¹⁸ He who says to a king, You are an evil-doer; and to rulers, You are sinners;

⁵ For Job has said, I am upright, and it is God who has taken away my right;

⁶ Though I am right, still I am in pain; my wound may not be made well, though I have done no wrong.

²¹ You have become cruel to me; the strength of your hand is hard on me.

² By the life of God, who has taken away my right; and of the Ruler of all, who has made my soul bitter;

³ What profit is it to you to be cruel, to give up the work of your hands, looking kindly on the design of evil-doers?
