Chapter 35

1


 

  Moreover Elihu answered,  

 

 

--

2


 

  'Do you think this to be your right, Or do you say, 'My righteousness is more than God's,'  

 

 

--

3


 

  That you ask, 'What advantage will it be to you? What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?'  

 

 

--

4


 

  I will answer you, And your companions with you.  

 

 

--

5


 

  Look to the heavens, and see. See the skies, which are higher than you.  

 

 

--

6


 

  If you have sinned, what effect do you have against him? If your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him?  

 

 

--

7


 

  If you are righteous, what do you give him? Or what does he receive from your hand?  

 

 

--

8


 

  Your wickedness may hurt a man as you are; And your righteousness may profit a son of man.  

 

 

--

9


 

  'By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out; They cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty.  

 

 

--

10


 

  But none says, 'Where is God my Maker, Who gives songs in the night,  

 

 

--

11


 

  Who teaches us more than the animals of the earth, And makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?'  

 

 

--

12


 

  There they cry, but none gives answer, Because of the pride of evil men.  

 

 

--

13


 

  Surely God will not hear an empty cry, Neither will the Almighty regard it.  

 

 

--

14


 

  How much less when you say you don't see him. The cause is before him, and you wait for him!  

 

 

--

15


 

  But now, because he has not visited in his anger, Neither does he greatly regard arrogance.  

 

 

--

16


 

  Therefore Job opens his mouth with empty talk, And he multiplies words without knowledge.'  

 

 

--
