Most of the Greek translators render (according to the strictness of the letter) not matters but words:1 Why dost thou strive with him? for his words are such as to which none can answer. As if the meaning of Elihu were; when God speaks, no man is able to reply upon him, or contradict him. His sayings are indeed irrefragable. Thus they gloss their translation; Why dost thou call him into Judgement, or strive with him? for all his speeches are such as cannot be contradicted. If God oppose, who can answer, and if God answer, who can oppose him? That's a good sense, though not a good translation.
