But when Elihu saw that the three men had no further reply, he became very angry.

Now I was paying you close attention, yet there was no one proving Job wrong, not one of you was answering his statements!

And further, when you say that his anger does not punish, and that he does not know transgression!

Many say about me, “God will not deliver him.” (Selah)

For they do not speak the truth; their stomachs are like the place of destruction, their throats like an open grave, their tongues like a steep slope leading into it.

For no one remembers you in the realm of death, In Sheol who gives you thanks?

The wicked man is so arrogant he always thinks, “God won’t hold me accountable; he doesn’t care.”

No king is delivered by his vast army; a warrior is not saved by his great might.

Remain loyal to the Lord, you chosen people of his, for his loyal followers lack nothing!

My heart beats quickly; my strength leaves me; I can hardly see.

We do not see any signs of God’s presence; there are no longer any prophets and we have no one to tell us how long this will last.

Your teeth are like a flock of newly-shorn sheep coming up from the washing place; each of them has a twin, and not one of them is missing.
