Interlude: Where Wisdom Is Found

28 “Surely there is a mine for silver
    and a place for gold to be refined.
Iron is taken out of the earth,
    and copper is smelted from ore.(A)
Miners put[a] an end to darkness
    and search out to the farthest bound
    the ore in gloom and deep darkness.
They open shafts in a valley away from human habitation;
    they are forgotten by travelers;
    they sway suspended, remote from people.
As for the earth, out of it comes bread,
    but underneath it is turned up as by fire.(B)
Its stones are the place of sapphires,[b]
    and its dust contains gold.

“That path no bird of prey knows,
    and the falcon’s eye has not seen it.
The proud wild animals have not trodden it;
    the lion has not passed over it.

“They put their hand to the flinty rock
    and overturn mountains by the roots.(C)
10 They cut out channels in the rocks,
    and their eyes see every precious thing.
11 The sources of the rivers they probe;[c]
    hidden things they bring to light.

12 “But where shall wisdom be found?
    And where is the place of understanding?(D)
13 Mortals do not know the way to it,[d]
    and it is not found in the land of the living.(E)
14 The deep says, ‘It is not in me,’
    and the sea says, ‘It is not with me.’
15 It cannot be gotten for gold,
    and silver cannot be weighed out as its price.
16 It cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir,
    in precious onyx or sapphire.[e]
17 Gold and glass cannot equal it,
    nor can it be exchanged for jewels of fine gold.(F)
18 No mention shall be made of coral or of crystal;
    the price of wisdom is above pearls.(G)
19 The chrysolite of Cush cannot compare with it,
    nor can it be valued in pure gold.(H)

20 “Where then does wisdom come from?
    And where is the place of understanding?(I)
21 It is hidden from the eyes of all living
    and concealed from the birds of the air.
22 Abaddon and Death say,
    ‘We have heard a rumor of it with our ears.’(J)

23 “God understands the way to it,
    and he knows its place.(K)
24 For he looks to the ends of the earth
    and sees everything under the heavens.(L)
25 When he gave to the wind its weight
    and apportioned out the waters by measure,(M)
26 when he made a decree for the rain,
    and a way for the thunderbolt,(N)
27 then he saw it and declared it;
    he established it and searched it out.
28 And he said to humankind,
‘Truly, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom;
    and to depart from evil is understanding.’ ”(O)

Job Finishes His Defense

29 Job again took up his discourse and said:(P)

“O that I were as in the months of old,
    as in the days when God watched over me,(Q)
when his lamp shone over my head,
    and by his light I walked through darkness,(R)
when I was in my prime,
    when the friendship of God was upon my tent,(S)
when the Almighty[f] was still with me,
    when my children were around me,
when my steps were washed with milk
    and the rock poured out for me streams of oil!(T)
When I went out to the gate of the city,
    when I took my seat in the square,
the young men saw me and withdrew,
    and the aged rose up and stood;
the nobles refrained from talking
    and laid their hands on their mouths;(U)
10 the voices of princes were hushed,
    and their tongues stuck to the roofs of their mouths.(V)
11 When the ear heard, it commended me,
    and when the eye saw, it approved,
12 because I delivered the poor who cried
    and the orphan who had no helper.(W)
13 The blessing of the wretched came upon me,
    and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.(X)
14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me;
    my justice was like a robe and a turban.(Y)
15 I was eyes to the blind
    and feet to the lame.
16 I was a father to the needy,
    and I championed the cause of the stranger.(Z)
17 I broke the fangs of the unrighteous
    and made them drop their prey from their teeth.(AA)
18 Then I thought, ‘I shall die in my nest,
    and I shall multiply my days like the phoenix;[g](AB)
19 my roots spread out to the waters,
    with the dew all night on my branches;(AC)
20 my glory was fresh with me
    and my bow ever new in my hand.’(AD)

21 “They listened to me and waited
    and kept silence for my counsel.(AE)
22 After I spoke they did not speak again,
    and my word dropped upon them like dew.[h](AF)
23 They waited for me as for the rain;
    they opened their mouths as for the spring rain.
24 I smiled on them when they had no confidence,
    and the light of my countenance they did not extinguish.[i]
25 I chose what they should do and sat as chief,
    and I lived like a king among his troops,
    like one who comforts mourners.(AG)

30 “But now they make sport of me,
    those who are younger than I,
whose fathers I would have disdained
    to set with the dogs of my flock.(AH)
What could I gain from the strength of their hands?
    All their vigor is gone.
Through want and hard hunger
    they gnaw the dry and desolate ground;
they pick mallow and the leaves of bushes
    and to warm themselves the roots of broom.
They are driven out from society;
    people shout after them as after a thief.
In the gullies of wadis they must live,
    in holes in the ground and in the rocks.
Among the bushes they bray;
    under the nettles they huddle together.
A senseless, disreputable brood,
    they have been whipped out of the land.

“And now they mock me in song;
    I am a byword to them.(AI)
10 They abhor me; they keep aloof from me;
    they do not hesitate to spit at the sight of me.(AJ)
11 Because God has loosed my bowstring and humbled me,
    they have cast off restraint in my presence.(AK)
12 On my right hand the rabble rise up;
    they send me sprawling
    and build roads for my ruin.(AL)
13 They break up my path;
    they promote my calamity;
    no one restrains[j] them.
14 As through a wide breach they come;
    amid the crash they roll on.
15 Terrors are turned upon me;
    my honor is pursued as by the wind,
    and my prosperity has passed away like a cloud.(AM)

16 “And now my soul is poured out within me;
    days of affliction have taken hold of me.(AN)
17 The night racks my bones,
    and the pain that gnaws me takes no rest.
18 With violence he seizes my garment;[k]
    he grasps me by[l] the collar of my tunic.
19 He has cast me into the mire,
    and I have become like dust and ashes.(AO)
20 I cry to you, and you do not answer me;
    I stand, and you merely look at me.(AP)
21 You have turned cruel to me;
    with the might of your hand you persecute me.(AQ)
22 You lift me up on the wind, you make me ride on it,
    and you toss me about in the roar of the storm.(AR)
23 I know that you will bring me to death,
    to the house appointed for all living.(AS)

24 “Surely one does not turn against the needy,[m]
    when in disaster they cry for help.[n](AT)
25 Did I not weep for those whose day was hard?
    Was not my soul grieved for the poor?(AU)
26 But when I looked for good, evil came,
    and when I waited for light, darkness came.(AV)
27 My inward parts are in turmoil and are never still;
    days of affliction come to meet me.
28 I go about in sunless gloom;
    I stand up in the assembly and cry for help.(AW)
29 I am a brother of jackals
    and a companion of ostriches.(AX)
30 My skin turns black and falls from me,
    and my bones burn with heat.(AY)
31 My lyre is turned to mourning
    and my pipe to the voice of those who weep.(AZ)

31 “I have made a covenant with my eyes;
    how, then, could I look upon a virgin?(BA)
What would be my portion from God above
    and my heritage from the Almighty[o] on high?
Does not calamity befall the unrighteous
    and disaster the workers of iniquity?
Does he not see my ways
    and number all my steps?(BB)

“If I have walked with falsehood,
    and my foot has hurried to deceit—(BC)
let me be weighed in a just balance,
    and let God know my integrity!—(BD)
if my step has turned aside from the way,
    and my heart has followed my eyes,
    and if any spot has clung to my hands,(BE)
then let me sow and another eat,
    and let what grows for me be rooted out.(BF)

“If my heart has been enticed by a woman
    and I have lain in wait at my neighbor’s door,(BG)
10 then let my wife grind for another,
    and let other men kneel over her.(BH)
11 For that would be a heinous crime;
    that would be a criminal offense;(BI)
12 for that would be a fire consuming down to Abaddon,
    and it would burn to the root all my harvest.(BJ)

13 “If I have rejected the cause of my male or female slaves,
    when they brought a complaint against me,(BK)
14 what then shall I do when God rises up?
    When he makes inquiry, what shall I answer him?
15 Did not he who made me in the womb make them?
    And did not one fashion us in the womb?(BL)

16 “If I have withheld anything that the poor desired
    or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail(BM)
17 or have eaten my morsel alone
    and the orphan has not eaten from it—(BN)
18 for from my youth I reared the orphan[p] like a father,
    and from my mother’s womb I guided the widow[q]
19 if I have seen anyone perish for lack of clothing
    or a poor person without covering,
20 whose loins have not blessed me,
    and who was not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;(BO)
21 if I have raised my hand against the orphan
    because I saw I had supporters at the gate;(BP)
22 then let my shoulder blade fall from my shoulder,
    and let my arm be broken from its socket.(BQ)
23 For I was in terror of calamity from God,
    and I could not have faced his majesty.(BR)

24 “If I have made gold my trust
    or called fine gold my confidence,(BS)
25 if I have rejoiced because my wealth was great
    or because my hand had gotten much,(BT)
26 if I have looked at the sun[r] when it shone
    or the moon moving in splendor,(BU)
27 and my heart has been secretly enticed,
    and my mouth has kissed my hand,
28 this also would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges,
    for I should have been false to God above.(BV)

29 “If I have rejoiced at the ruin of those who hated me
    or exulted when evil overtook them—(BW)
30 I have not let my mouth sin
    by asking for their lives with a curse—(BX)
31 if those of my tent ever said,
    ‘O that we might be sated with his flesh!’[s](BY)
32 the stranger has not lodged in the street;
    I have opened my doors to the traveler—(BZ)
33 if I have concealed my transgressions as others do,[t]
    by hiding my iniquity in my bosom,(CA)
34 because I stood in great fear of the multitude,
    and the contempt of families terrified me,
    so that I kept silence and did not go out of doors—(CB)
35 O that I had one to hear me!
    (Here is my signature! Let the Almighty[u] answer me!)
    O that I had the indictment written by my adversary!(CC)
36 Surely I would carry it on my shoulder;
    I would bind it on me like a crown;
37 I would give him an account of all my steps;
    like a prince I would approach him.(CD)

38 “If my land has cried out against me
    and its furrows have wept together,(CE)
39 if I have eaten its yield without payment
    and caused the death of its owners,(CF)
40 let thorns grow instead of wheat
    and foul weeds instead of barley.”

The words of Job are ended.(CG)

Elihu Rebukes Job’s Friends

32 So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.(CH) Then Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, became angry. He was angry at Job because he justified himself rather than God;(CI) he was angry also at Job’s three friends because they had found no answer, though they had declared Job to be in the wrong.[v](CJ) Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because they were older than he. But when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouths of these three men, he became angry.

Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite answered:

“I am young in years,
    and you are aged;
therefore I was timid and afraid
    to declare my opinion to you.(CK)
I said, ‘Let days speak
    and many years teach wisdom.’
But truly it is the spirit in a mortal,
    the breath of the Almighty[w] that makes for understanding.(CL)
It is not the old[x] who are wise
    nor the aged who understand what is right.(CM)
10 Therefore I say, ‘Listen to me;
    let me also declare my opinion.’

11 “See, I waited for your words;
    I listened for your wise sayings
    while you searched out what to say.(CN)
12 I gave you my attention,
    but there was, in fact, no one who confuted Job,
    no one among you who answered his words.
13 Yet do not say, ‘We have found wisdom;
    God may vanquish him, not a human.’(CO)
14 He has not directed his words against me,
    and I will not answer him with your speeches.

15 “They are dismayed; they answer no more;
    they have not a word to say.
16 And am I to wait because they do not speak,
    because they stand there and answer no more?
17 I also will give my answer;
    I also will declare my opinion.
18 For I am full of words;
    the spirit within me constrains me.(CP)
19 My belly is indeed like wine that has no vent;
    like new wineskins, it is ready to burst.(CQ)
20 I must speak, so that I may find relief;
    I must open my lips and answer.
21 I will not show partiality to any person
    or use flattery toward anyone.(CR)
22 For I do not know how to flatter—
    or my Maker would soon put an end to me!(CS)

Elihu Rebukes Job

33 “But now, hear my speech, O Job,
    and listen to all my words.
See, I open my mouth;
    the tongue in my mouth speaks.
My words declare the uprightness of my heart,
    and what my lips know they speak sincerely.(CT)
The spirit of God has made me,
    and the breath of the Almighty[y] gives me life.(CU)
Answer me, if you can;
    set your words in order before me; take your stand.(CV)
See, before God I am as you are;
    I, too, was formed from a piece of clay.
No fear of me need terrify you;
    my pressure will not be heavy on you.(CW)

“Surely, you have spoken in my hearing,
    and I have heard the sound of your words.
You say, ‘I am clean, without transgression;
    I am pure, and there is no iniquity in me.(CX)
10 Look, he finds occasions against me;
    he counts me as his enemy;(CY)
11 he puts my feet in the stocks
    and watches all my paths.’(CZ)

12 “But in this you are not right. I will answer you:
    God is greater than any mortal.
13 Why do you contend against him,
    saying, ‘He will answer none of my[z] words’?(DA)
14 For God speaks in one way
    and in two, though people do not perceive it.(DB)
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night,
    when deep sleep falls on mortals,
    while they slumber on their beds,(DC)
16 then he opens their ears
    and terrifies them with warnings,(DD)
17 that he may turn them aside from their deeds
    and keep them from pride,
18 to spare their souls from the Pit,
    their lives from traversing the River.
19 They are also chastened with pain upon their beds
    and with continual strife in their bones,(DE)
20 so that their lives loathe bread
    and their appetites dainty food.(DF)
21 Their flesh is so wasted away that it cannot be seen,
    and their bones, once invisible, now stick out.(DG)
22 Their souls draw near the Pit
    and their lives to those who bring death.(DH)
23 Then, if there should be for one of them an angel,
    a mediator, one of a thousand,
    one who declares a person upright,(DI)
24 and he is gracious to that person and says,
    ‘Deliver him from going down into the Pit;
    I have found a ransom;(DJ)
25 let his flesh become fresh with youth;
    let him return to the days of his youthful vigor,’(DK)
26 then he prays to God and is accepted by him;
    he comes into his presence with joy,
and God[aa] repays him for his righteousness.(DL)
27     That person sings to others and says,
‘I sinned and perverted what was right,
    and it was not paid back to me.(DM)
28 He has redeemed my soul from going down to the Pit,
    and my life shall see the light.’(DN)

29 “God indeed does all these things,
    twice, three times, with mortals,(DO)
30 to bring back their souls from the Pit,
    so that they may see the light of life.[ab](DP)
31 Pay heed, Job, listen to me;
    be silent, and I will speak.
32 If you have anything to say, answer me;
    speak, for I desire to justify you.
33 If not, listen to me;
    be silent, and I will teach you wisdom.”(DQ)

Elihu Proclaims God’s Justice

34 Then Elihu continued and said:

“Hear my words, you wise men,
    and give ear to me, you who know,
for the ear tests words
    as the palate tastes food.(DR)
Let us choose what is right;
    let us determine among ourselves what is good.(DS)
For Job has said, ‘I am innocent,
    and God has taken away my right;
in spite of being right I am counted a liar;
    my wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.’(DT)
Who is there like Job,
    who drinks up scoffing like water,(DU)
who goes in company with evildoers
    and walks with the wicked?(DV)
For he has said, ‘It profits one nothing
    to take delight in God.’(DW)

10 “Therefore, hear me, you who have sense;
    far be it from God that he should do wickedness
    and from the Almighty[ac] that he should do wrong.(DX)
11 For according to their deeds he will repay them,
    and according to their ways he will make it befall them.(DY)
12 Of a truth, God will not do wickedly,
    and the Almighty[ad] will not pervert justice.(DZ)
13 Who gave him charge over the earth,
    and who laid on him[ae] the whole world?(EA)
14 If he should take back his spirit[af] to himself
    and gather to himself his breath,(EB)
15 all flesh would perish together,
    and all mortals return to dust.(EC)

16 “If you have understanding, hear this;
    listen to what I say.
17 Shall one who hates justice govern?
    Will you condemn one who is righteous and mighty,(ED)
18 who says to a king, ‘You scoundrel!’
    and to princes, ‘You wicked men!’;(EE)
19 who shows no partiality to nobles,
    nor regards the rich more than the poor,
    for they are all the work of his hands?(EF)
20 In a moment they die;
    at midnight the people are shaken and pass away,
    and the mighty are taken away by no human hand.(EG)

21 “For his eyes are upon the ways of mortals,
    and he sees all their steps.(EH)
22 There is no gloom or deep darkness
    where evildoers may hide themselves.(EI)
23 For he has not appointed a time[ag] for anyone
    to go before God in judgment.
24 He shatters the mighty without investigation
    and sets others in their place.(EJ)
25 Thus, knowing their works,
    he overturns them in the night, and they are crushed.(EK)
26 He strikes them for their wickedness
    while others look on,(EL)
27 because they turned aside from following him
    and had no regard for any of his ways,(EM)
28 so that they caused the cry of the poor to come to him,
    and he heard the cry of the afflicted—(EN)
29 When he is quiet, who can condemn?
    When he hides his face, who can behold him?
    Whether nation or person, it is the same—(EO)
30 so that the godless should not reign
    or those who ensnare the people.(EP)

31 “For has anyone said to God,
    ‘I have endured punishment; I will not offend any more;
32 teach me what I do not see;
    if I have done iniquity, I will do it no more’?(EQ)
33 Will he then pay back to suit you
    because you reject it?
For you must choose and not I;
    therefore declare what you know.[ah]
34 Those who have sense will say to me,
    and the wise who hear me will say,
35 ‘Job speaks without knowledge;
    his words are without insight.’(ER)
36 Would that Job were tried to the limit,
    because his answers are those of the wicked.(ES)
37 For he adds rebellion to his sin;
    he claps his hands among us
    and multiplies his words against God.”

Elihu Condemns Self-Righteousness

35 Elihu continued and said:

“Do you think this to be just?
    You say, ‘I am in the right before God.’(ET)
If you ask, ‘What advantage have I?
    How am I better off than if I had sinned?’(EU)
I will answer you
    and your friends with you.
Look at the heavens and see;
    observe the clouds, which are higher than you.(EV)
If you have sinned, what do you accomplish against him?
    And if your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him?(EW)
If you are righteous, what do you give to him,
    or what does he receive from your hand?(EX)
Your wickedness affects others like you,
    and your righteousness, other human beings.

“Because of the multitude of oppressions people cry out;
    they call for help because of the arm of the mighty.(EY)
10 But no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker,
    who gives strength in the night,(EZ)
11 who teaches us more than the animals of the earth
    and makes us wiser than the birds of the air?’(FA)
12 There they cry out, but he does not answer,
    because of the pride of evildoers.(FB)
13 Surely God does not hear an empty cry,
    nor does the Almighty[ai] regard it.(FC)
14 How much less when you say that you do not see him,
    that the case is before him and you are waiting for him!(FD)
15 And now, because his anger does not punish
    and he does not greatly heed transgression,[aj](FE)
16 Job opens his mouth in empty talk;
    he multiplies words without knowledge.”(FF)

Elihu Exalts God’s Goodness

36 Elihu continued and said:

“Bear with me a little, and I will show you,
    for I have yet something to say on God’s behalf.
I will bring my knowledge from far away
    and ascribe righteousness to my Maker.(FG)
For truly my words are not false;
    one who is perfect in knowledge is with you.(FH)

“Surely God is mighty and does not despise any;
    he is mighty in strength of understanding.(FI)
He does not keep the wicked alive
    but gives the afflicted their right.(FJ)
He does not withdraw his eyes from the righteous,
    but with kings on the throne
    he sets them forever, and they are exalted.(FK)
And if they are bound in fetters
    and caught in the cords of affliction,
then he declares to them their work
    and their transgressions, that they are behaving arrogantly.(FL)
10 He opens their ears to instruction
    and commands that they return from iniquity.(FM)
11 If they listen and serve him,
    they complete their days in prosperity
    and their years in pleasantness.(FN)
12 But if they do not listen, they shall perish by the sword
    and die without knowledge.(FO)

13 “The godless in heart cherish anger;
    they do not cry for help when he binds them.(FP)
14 They die in their youth,
    and their life ends in shame.[ak](FQ)
15 He delivers the afflicted by their affliction
    and opens their ear by adversity.(FR)
16 He also allured you out of distress
    into a broad place where there was no constraint,
    and what was set on your table was full of fatness.(FS)

17 “But you are obsessed with the case of the wicked;
    judgment and justice seize you.
18 Beware that wrath does not entice you into scoffing,
    and do not let the greatness of the ransom turn you aside.(FT)
19 Will your cry avail to keep you from distress,
    or will all the force of your strength?
20 Do not long for the night,
    when peoples are cut off in their place.(FU)
21 Beware! Do not turn to iniquity;
    because of that you have been tried by affliction.(FV)
22 See, God is exalted in his power;
    who is a teacher like him?
23 Who has prescribed for him his way,
    or who can say, ‘You have done wrong’?(FW)

Elihu Proclaims God’s Majesty

24 “Remember to extol his work,
    of which mortals have sung.(FX)
25 All people have looked on it;
    everyone watches it from far away.
26 Surely God is great, and we do not know him;
    the number of his years is unsearchable.(FY)
27 For he draws up the drops of water;
    he distills[al] his mist in rain,(FZ)
28 which the skies pour down
    and drop upon mortals abundantly.
29 Can anyone understand the spreading of the clouds,
    the thunderings of his pavilion?(GA)
30 See, he scatters his lightning around him
    and covers the roots of the sea.
31 For by these he governs peoples;
    he gives food in abundance.(GB)
32 He covers his hands with the lightning
    and commands it to strike the mark.(GC)
33 Its crashing[am] tells about him;
    he is jealous[an] with anger against iniquity.(GD)

37 “At this also my heart trembles
    and leaps out of its place.
Listen, listen to the thunder of his voice
    and the rumbling that comes from his mouth.(GE)
Under the whole heaven he lets it loose,
    and his lightning to the corners of the earth.
After it his voice roars;
    he thunders with his majestic voice,
    and he does not restrain the lightnings[ao] when his voice is heard.(GF)
God thunders wondrously with his voice;
    he does great things that we cannot comprehend.(GG)
For to the snow he says, ‘Fall on the earth’;
    and the shower of rain, his heavy shower of rain,(GH)
serves as a sign on everyone’s hand,
    so that all whom he has made may know it.[ap](GI)
Then the animals go into their lairs
    and remain in their dens.(GJ)
From its chamber comes the whirlwind
    and cold from the scattering winds.(GK)
10 By the breath of God ice is given,
    and the broad waters are frozen fast.(GL)
11 He loads the thick cloud with moisture;
    the clouds scatter his lightning.(GM)
12 They turn round and round by his guidance
    to accomplish all that he commands them
    on the face of the habitable world.(GN)
13 Whether for correction or for his land
    or for love, he causes it to happen.(GO)

14 “Hear this, O Job;
    stop and consider the wondrous works of God.(GP)
15 Do you know how God lays his command upon them
    and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine?
16 Do you know the balancings of the clouds,
    the wondrous works of the one whose knowledge is perfect,(GQ)
17 you whose garments are hot
    when the earth is still because of the south wind?
18 Can you, like him, spread out the skies,
    hard as a molten mirror?(GR)
19 Teach us what we shall say to him;
    we cannot draw up our case because of darkness.
20 Should he be told that I want to speak?
    Did anyone ever wish to be swallowed up?
21 Now, no one can look on the light
    when it is bright in the skies,
    when the wind has passed and cleared them.
22 Out of the north comes golden splendor;
    around God is awesome majesty.
23 The Almighty[aq]—we cannot find him;
    he is great in power and justice,
    and abundant righteousness he will not violate.(GS)
24 Therefore mortals fear him;
    he does not regard any who are wise in their own conceit.”(GT)
