35:1-16
Job 35
:1
35:1
Then Elihu continued and said,
Job 35
:2
35:2
Do you consider this to be just?
Do you say, My
arighteousness is more than God’s,
Job 35
:3
35:3
So that you say, What
aadvantage is there to
1me,
What do I profit, more than if I had sinned?
Job 35
:4
35:4
I will respond to you with words,
And to your companions with you.
Job 35
:5
35:5
Look unto heaven and see;
And behold the skies: They are higher than you.
Job 35
:6
35:6
If you
asin, what do you accomplish against Him?
And if your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to Him?
Job 35
:7
35:7
If you are
arighteous, what can you
bgive to Him,
Or what does He receive from your hand?
Job 35
:8
35:8
Your wickedness
affects a man like you,
And your righteousness, a son of man.
Job 35
:9
35:9
Because of the multitude of oppressions they cry out;
They cry for help because of the arm of the mighty.
Job 35
:10
35:10
But no one says, Where is God my
aMaker,
Who gives
bsongs in the night,
Job 35
:11
35:11
Who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth
And makes us wiser than the birds of heaven?
Job 35
:12
35:12
There they cry, but He does not answer,
Because of the pride of evil men.
Job 35
:13
35:13
Surely God does not hear an empty
cry,
And the Almighty does not regard it.
Job 35
:14
35:14
How much less when you say that you do not behold Him,
That the cause is before Him and you are waiting on Him!
Job 35
:15
35:15
But now, because He has not visited
in His anger
Nor regarded such great arrogance,
Job 35
:16
35:16
Job opens his mouth in vanity;
He multiplies words without knowledge.
