Olam 2

But none saith, Where <i>is</i> God my maker, who giveth songs in the night;

Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?

There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men.

Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.

Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, <i>yet</i> judgment <i>is</i> before him; therefore trust thou in him.

But now, because <i>it is</i> not <i>so</i>, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth <i>it</i> not in great extremity:

Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.

Elihu also proceeded, and said,

Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that <i>I have</i> yet to speak on God's behalf.

I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
