←Prev   Job 35 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


35:1  Elihu proceeded in his reasoning and said,
35:2  Dost thou think this to be right, when thou didst say, I am more righteous than God?
35:3  For thou didst say, What advantage will it be unto thee? And, What profit shall I have, if I am cleansed from my sin?
35:4  I will answer thee and thy companions with thee.
35:5  Look unto the heavens and see; and behold the heavens which are higher than thou.
35:6  If thou dost sin, what hast thou done against him? Or if thy rebellion is multiplied, what doest thou unto him?
35:7  If thou art righteous, what shalt thou give him? Or what shall he receive of thine hand?
35:8  Thy wickedness shall hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness shall profit the son of man.
35:9  By reason of the great violence they shall call out; they cry out because of the strength of the many.
35:10  But no one shall say, Where is God my maker, who gives songs in the night;
35:11  who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth and makes us wiser than the fowls of heaven?
35:12  There they shall cry, but he shall give no answer because of the pride of those that are evil.
35:13  Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty look upon it.
35:14  For much that thou dost say, he will not look upon it, submit to judgment before him, and trust thou in him.
35:15  But now, because he has not visited in wrath; nor is it known in great extremity;
35:16  therefore, Job opened his mouth in vain and multiplied words without knowledge.
