35:1  Moreover Elihu answered and said,
35:2  Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than �God's?
35:3  For thou hast asked of what profit it is unto thee: what do I gain more than if I had sinned?
35:4  I will reply to thee in words, and to thy companions with thee.
35:5  Look unto the heavens and see; and survey the skies: they are higher than thou.
35:6  If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? If thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?
35:7  If thou be righteous, what givest thou to him? or what doth he receive of thy hand?
35:8  Thy wickedness may affect a man as thou art, and thy righteousness a son of man.
35:9  By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry; they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty:
35:10  But none saith, Where is +God my Maker, who giveth songs in the night,
35:11  Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowl of the heavens?
35:12  There they cry, and he answereth not, because of the pride of evil men.
35:13  Surely �God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.
35:14  Although thou sayest thou dost not see him, judgment is before him, therefore wait for him.
35:15  But now, because he hath not visited in his anger, doth not Job know his great arrogancy?
35:16  For Job hath opened his mouth in vanity, and made words abundant without knowledge.
