Job 35

Job 35:1. And Elihu answereth and saith: --

Job 35:2 This hast thou reckoned for judgment: Thou hast said--`My righteousness [is] more than God's?'

Job 35:3 For thou sayest, `What doth it profit Thee! What do I profit from my sin?'

Job 35:4 I return thee words, and thy friends with thee,

Job 35:5 Behold attentively the heavens--and see, And behold the clouds, They have been higher than thou.

Job 35:6 If thou hast sinned, what dost thou against Him? And thy transgressions have been multiplied, What dost thou to Him?

Job 35:7 If thou hast been righteous, What dost thou give to Him? Or what from thy hand doth He receive?

Job 35:8 For a man like thyself [is] thy wickedness, And for a son of man thy righteousness.

Job 35:9. Because of the multitude of oppressions They cause to cry out, They cry because of the arm of the mighty.

Job 35:10 And none said, `Where [is] God my maker? Giving songs in the night,

Job 35:11 Teaching us more than the beasts of the earth, Yea, than the fowl of the heavens He maketh us wiser.'

‌Job 35:12 There they cry, and He doth not answer, Because of the pride of evil doers.

Job 35:13 Surely vanity God doth not hear, And the Mighty doth not behold it.

Job 35:14. Yea, though thou sayest thou dost not behold Him, Judgment [is] before Him, and stay for Him.

Job 35:15 And, now, because there is not, He hath appointed His anger, And He hath not known in great extremity.

Job 35:16 And Job [with] vanity doth open his mouth, Without knowledge words he multiplieth.
