35:1  Elihu spoke moreover and said:
35:2  “Thinkest thou this to be right that thou saidst, ‘My righteousness is more than God’s’?
35:3  For thou saidst, ‘What advantage will it be unto Thee?’ and, ‘What profit shall I have if I be cleansed from my sin?’
35:5  Look unto the heavens and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou.
35:6  If thou sinnest, what doest thou against Him? Or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto Him?
35:7  If thou be righteous, what givest thou Him? Or what receiveth He of thine hand?
35:8  Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man.
35:9  “By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to 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 fowls of heaven?’
35:12  There they cry, but none giveth answer, 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 shalt not see Him, yet judgment is before Him; therefore trust thou in Him.
35:15  But now, because it is not so, He hath visited in His anger; yet he knoweth it not in his great extremity.
35:16  Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.”
