Job|35:1|-|Then Elihu continued and said,
Job|35:2|-|Do you consider this to be just?Do you say, My |a|righteousness is more than God’s,
Job|35:3|-|So that you say, What |a|advantage is there to |1|me,What do I profit, more than if I had sinned?
Job|35:4|-|I will respond to you with words,And to your companions with you.
Job|35:5|-|Look unto heaven and see;And behold the skies: They are higher than you.
Job|35:6|-|If you |a|sin, what do you accomplish against Him?And if your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to Him?
Job|35:7|-|If you are |a|righteous, what can you |b|give to Him,Or what does He receive from your hand?
Job|35:8|-|Your wickedness affects a man like you,And your righteousness, a son of man.
Job|35:9|-|Because of the multitude of oppressions they cry out;They cry for help because of the arm of the mighty.
Job|35:10|-|But no one says, Where is God my |a|Maker,Who gives |b|songs in the night,
Job|35:11|-|Who teaches us more than the beasts of the earthAnd makes us wiser than the birds of heaven?
Job|35:12|-|There they cry, but He does not answer,Because of the pride of evil men.
Job|35:13|-|Surely God does not hear an empty cry,And the Almighty does not regard it.
Job|35:14|-|How much less when you say that you do not behold Him,That the cause is before Him and you are waiting on Him!
Job|35:15|-|But now, because He has not visited in His angerNor regarded such great arrogance,
Job|35:16|-|Job opens his mouth in vanity;He multiplies words without knowledge.
