1 Elihu said, Job, please listen to me. Hear my words. ️ 2 I open my mouth now. I will talk. ️ 3 I will say true words from my heart. I will speak plain. ❤️✅ 4 God's Holy Spirit made me. God's breath gave me life. ️ 5 If you can answer me, get your words ready. Stand up. 6 See, I am like you before God. I am made from dirt too. 7 Do not fear me. I will not hurt you. ✋ 8 I heard you talk. I heard your words. ️ 9 You said, “I am clean. I did no wrong. I did nothing bad.” ♂️ 10 You said, “God picks on me. God sees me like an enemy.” ⚔️ 11 You said, “God locks my feet. God watches all my steps.” 12 But you are not right. God is bigger than people. ☝️ 13 Why do you fight God? God does not have to say why. ❓♂️ 14 God talks one time, two times. People do not get it. ️️♂️ 15 He can talk in a dream at night, when we sleep in bed. ️ 16 God opens ears. God teaches. 17 He helps a man stop a bad plan. He keeps him from being too proud. ✋ 18 He keeps his life from a deep hole. He keeps him from being killed by a sword. ️⚔️ 19 God may let him have pain on his bed. His bones can hurt a lot. ️ 20 He does not want bread. He does not want good food. ❌❌ 21 He gets so thin. You can see his bones. 22 He comes close to the end. He may die soon. ⚠️⏳ 23 If a helper comes, a teacher, one special one, to show what is right, 24 Then God is kind. God says to save him from the deep hole. God paid for him. ️ 25 Then his skin is fresh like a kid's. He feels young again. ✨ 26 He will pray to God. God will be kind to him. He will smile and feel happy. God makes him right. 27 He tells people, “I did a wrong thing. I messed up what was right. It did not help me.” ️ 28 God saves him from the deep hole. He lives and sees light. ➡️ 29 See, God does these things many times for people. 30 He brings them back from the deep hole. He lets them live in the light. ️➡️ 31 Listen well, Job. Be still. I will talk. ️ 32 If you have words, answer me. Talk, for I want to help you be right. 33 If not, listen to me. Be still. I will teach you what is good.
