| 35:1 |
Moreover Elihu answered and said,
|
| 35:2 |
Thinkest thou this to be [thy] right, [Or] sayest thou, My righteousness is more than God's,
|
| 35:3 |
That thou sayest, What advantage will it be unto thee? [And], What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?
|
| 35:4 |
I will answer thee, And thy companions with thee.
|
| 35:5 |
Look unto the heavens, and see; And behold the skies, which are higher than thou.
|
| 35:6 |
If thou hast sinned, what effectest thou against him? And if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?
|
| 35:7 |
If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? Or what receiveth he of thy hand?
|
| 35:8 |
Thy wickedness [may hurt] a man as thou art; And thy righteousness [may profit] a son of man.
|
| 35:9 |
By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out; They cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty.
|
| 35:10 |
But none saith, Where is God my Maker, Who giveth songs in the night,
|
| 35:11 |
Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, And maketh us wiser than the birds of the heavens?
|
| 35:12 |
There they cry, but none giveth answer, Because of the pride of evil men.
|
| 35:13 |
Surely God will not hear an empty [cry], Neither will the Almighty regard it.
|
| 35:14 |
How much less when thou sayest thou beholdest him not, The cause is before him, and thou waitest for him!
|
| 35:15 |
But now, because he hath not visited in his anger, Neither doth he greatly regard arrogance;
|
| 35:16 |
Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vanity; He multiplieth words without knowledge.
