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