1Elihu spoke moreover, and said,Select Job 35:1

2Think you this to be right, that you said, My righteousness is more than God’s?Select Job 35:2

3For you said, What advantage will it be to you? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?Select Job 35:3

4I will answer you, and your companions with you.Select Job 35:4

5Look to the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than you.Select Job 35:5

6If you sin, what do you against him? or if your transgressions be multiplied, what do you to him?Select Job 35:6

7If you be righteous, what give you him? or what receives he of your hand?Select Job 35:7

8Your wickedness may hurt a man as you are; and your righteousness may profit the son of man.Select Job 35:8

9By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.Select Job 35:9

10But none says, Where is God my maker, who gives songs in the night;Select Job 35:10

11Who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth, and makes us wiser than the fowls of heaven?Select Job 35:11

12There they cry, but none gives answer, because of the pride of evil men.Select Job 35:12

13Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.Select Job 35:13

14Although you say you shall not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust you in him.Select Job 35:14

15But now, because it is not so, he has visited in his anger; yet he knows it not in great extremity:Select Job 35:15

16Therefore does Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplies words without knowledge.Select Job 35:16
