35:2 Doth thy thought seem right to thee, that thou shouldst say : I am more just than God?
35:3 For thou saidst : That which is right doth not please thee : or what will it profit thee if I sin?
35:4 Therefore I will answer thy words, and thy friends with thee.
35:5 Look up to heaven and see, and behold the sky, that it is higher than thee.
35:6 If thou sin, what shalt thou hurt him? and if thy iniquities be multiplied, what shalt thou do against him?
35:7 And if thou do justly, what shalt thou give him, or what shall he receive of thy hand?
35:8 Thy wickedness may hurt a man that is like thee : and thy justice may help the son of man.
35:9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they shall cry out : and shall wail for the violence of the arm of tyrants.
35:10 And he hath not said : Where is God, who made me, who hath given songs in the night?
35:11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and instructeth us more than the fowls of the air.
35:12 There shall they cry, and he will not hear, because of the pride of evil men.
35:13 God therefore will not hear in vain, and the Almighty will look into the causes of every one.
35:14 Yea when thou shalt say : He considereth not : be judged before him, and expect him.
35:15 For he doth not now bring on his fury, neither doth he revenge wickedness exceedingly.
35:16 Therefore Job openeth his mouth in vain, and multiplieth words without knowledge.
