Lo, I have waited for your words, I give ear unto your reasons, Till ye search out sayings.
To me they have hearkened, Yea, they wait, and are silent for my counsel.
And they wait as `for' rain for me, And their mouth they have opened wide `As' for the latter rain.
Therefore I have said: Hearken to me, I do shew my opinion -- even I.
And unto you I attend, And lo, there is no reasoner for Job, `Or' answerer of his sayings among you.
And Elihu hath waited earnestly beside Job with words, for they are older than he in days.
Lo, this -- we searched it out -- it `is' right, hearken; And thou, know for thyself!
Righteous `is' the first in his own cause, His neighbour cometh and hath searched him.
A rich man is wise in his own eyes, And the intelligent poor searcheth him.
