←Prev   Job 35 as rendered by/in  Next→ 



35:1  And Elihu answereth and saith: --
35:2  This hast thou reckoned for judgment: Thou hast said -- `My righteousness [is] more than God's?'
35:3  For thou sayest, `What doth it profit Thee! What do I profit from my sin?'
35:4  I return thee words, and thy friends with thee,
35:5  Behold attentively the heavens -- and see, And behold the clouds, They have been higher than thou.
35:6  If thou hast sinned, what dost thou against Him? And thy transgressions have been multiplied, What dost thou to Him?
35:7  If thou hast been righteous, What dost thou give to Him? Or what from thy hand doth He receive?
35:8  For a man like thyself [is] thy wickedness, And for a son of man thy righteousness.
35:9  Because of the multitude of oppressions They cause to cry out, They cry because of the arm of the mighty.
35:10  And none said, `Where [is] God my maker? Giving songs in the night,
35:11  Teaching us more than the beasts of the earth, Yea, than the fowl of the heavens He maketh us wiser.'
35:12  There they cry, and He doth not answer, Because of the pride of evil doers.
35:13  Surely vanity God doth not hear, And the Mighty doth not behold it.
35:14  Yea, though thou sayest thou dost not behold Him, Judgment [is] before Him, and stay for Him.
35:15  And, now, because there is not, He hath appointed His anger, And He hath not known in great extremity.
35:16  And Job [with] vanity doth open his mouth, Without knowledge words he multiplieth.
