* And Elius resumed and said , * What is this that thou thinkest to be according to right ? who art thou that thou hast said , I am righteous before the Lord ? (note :)Alex . +’What shall I say ? what shall I do , having sinned ?’(:note ) * I will answer thee , and thy three friends . * Look up to the sky and see ; and consider the clouds , how high they are above thee . * If thou hast sinned , what wilt thou do ? * and if too thou hast transgressed much , what canst thou perform ? * And suppose thou art righteous , what wilt thou give him ? or what shall he receive of thy hand ? * Thy ungodliness may affect a man who is like to thee ; or thy righteousness a son of man . * They that are (note :)That is , by false accusation (:note ) oppressed of a multitude will be ready to cry out ; they will call for help because of the arm of many . * But none said , Where is God that made me , who appoints the night-watches ; * who makes me to differ from the four-footed beasts of the earth , and from the birds of the sky ? * There they shall cry , and none shall hearken , even because of the insolence of wicked men . * For the Lord desires not to look on (note :)Lit . improprieties (:note ) error , for he is the Almighty One . * He (note :)Gr . is the beholder of (:note ) beholds them that perform lawless deeds , and he will save me : and do thou plead before him , if thou canst praise him , as it is possible even now . * For (note :)i . e ., God (:note ) he is not now regarding his wrath , nor has he noticed severely any trespass . * Yet Job vainly opens his mouth , in ignorance he (note :)Gr . makes heavy (:note ) multiplies words .
