Because he knew no quietness inside him, He shall not save anything of that wherein he delights.

Because I was not cut off before the darkness, Neither did he cover the thick darkness from my face.

Because I delivered the poor that cried, The fatherless also, that had none to help him.

If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, Because I saw my help in the gate:

If I have rejoiced because my wealth was great, And because my hand had gotten much;

Because I feared the great multitude, And the contempt of families terrified me, So that I kept silent, and didn't go out of the door-

So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.

Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.

Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.

Will you trust him, because his strength is great? Or will you leave to him your labor?
