1Elihu spake moreouer, and said,Select Job 35:1

2Thinkest thou this to bee right, that thou saydest, My righteousnesse is more then Gods?Select Job 35:2

3For thou saydst, what aduantage will it bee vnto thee, and, what profite shall I haue, if I bee cleansed from my sinne?Select Job 35:3

4I will answere thee, and thy companions with thee.Select Job 35:4

5Looke vnto the heauens and see, and behold the clouds which are higher then thou.Select Job 35:5

6If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou vnto him?Select Job 35:6

7If thou be righteous, what giuest thou him? or what receiueth hee of thine hand?Select Job 35:7

8Thy wickednesse may hurt a man as thou art, and thy righteousnesse may profit the sonne of man.Select Job 35:8

9By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to crie: they crie out by reason of the arme of the mightie.Select Job 35:9

10But none saith, where is God my maker, who giueth songs in the night?Select Job 35:10

11Who teacheth vs more then the beasts of the earth, and maketh vs wiser then the foules of heauen.Select Job 35:11

15But now because it is not so, hee hath visited in his anger, yet he knoweth it not in great extremitie:Select Job 35:15

16Therefore doeth Iob open his mouth in vaine: he multiplieth words without knowledge.Select Job 35:16
