Job 35
1. Elihu spake * moreover, and said * ,
2. Thinkest * thou this to be right, that thou saidst * , My righteousness is more than God's?
3. For thou saidst * , What advantage * will it be unto thee? and, What profit * shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?
4. I will answer * thee, and thy companions with thee.
5. Look * unto the heavens, and see * ; and behold * the clouds which are higher * than thou.
6. If thou sinnest * , what doest * thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied * , what doest * thou unto him?
7. If thou be righteous * , what givest * thou him? or what receiveth * he of thine hand?
8. Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man.
9. By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry * : they cry out * by reason of the arm of the mighty.
10. But none saith * , Where is God my maker * , who giveth * songs in the night;
11. Who teacheth * us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser * than the fowls of heaven?
12. There they cry * , but none giveth answer * , because of the pride of evil men.
13. Surely God will not hear * vanity, neither will the Almighty regard * it.
14. Although thou sayest * thou shalt not see * him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust * thou in him.
15. But now, because it is not so, he hath visited * in his anger; yet he knoweth * it not in great extremity:
16. Therefore doth Job open * his mouth in vain; he multiplieth * words without knowledge.
