And he answered Elihu and he said.
2 “Ẹ̀yin ọlọ́gbọ́n ẹ gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ mi, kí ẹ sì fi etí sílẹ̀ sí mi ẹ̀yin tí ẹ ní ìmòye.
Hear O wise [men] words my and O [those who] know give ear to me.

5 “Nítorí pé Jobu wí pé, ‘Aláìlẹ́ṣẹ̀ ni èmi; Ọlọ́run sì ti gba ìdájọ́ mi lọ.
For he has said Job I am righteous and God he has taken away right my.

Therefore - O people of heart listen to me far be it to God from wickedness and [the] Almighty from unrighteousness.
11 Nítorí pé ó ń sán fún ènìyàn fún gẹ́gẹ́ bi ohun tí a bá ṣe, yóò sì mú olúkúlùkù kí ó rí gẹ́gẹ́ bí ipa ọ̀nà rẹ̀.
For [the] work of a person he will repay to him and according to [the] way of a person he will make find him.
12 Nítòótọ́ Ọlọ́run kì yóò hùwàkiwà; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Olódùmarè kì yóò yí ìdájọ́ po.
