1 And Elihu answereth and saith: --
         
                                
                        2 This hast thou reckoned for judgment: Thou hast said -- `My  righteousness [is] more than God`s?`
         
                                
                        3 For thou sayest, `What doth it profit Thee! What do I  profit from my sin?`
         
                                
                        4 I return thee words, and thy friends with thee,
         
                                
                        5 Behold attentively the heavens -- and see, And behold the  clouds, They have been higher than thou.
         
                                
                        6 If thou hast sinned, what dost thou against Him? And thy  transgressions have been multiplied, What dost thou to Him?
         
                                
                        7 If thou hast been righteous, What dost thou give to Him? Or  what from thy hand doth He receive?
