35Job 35

1And Elihu answereth and saith: --Select Job 35:1

2This hast thou reckoned for judgment: Thou hast said--`My righteousness is more than God's?'Select Job 35:2

3For thou sayest, `What doth it profit Thee! What do I profit from my sin?'Select Job 35:3

4I return thee words, and thy friends with thee,Select Job 35:4

5Behold attentively the heavens--and see, And behold the clouds, They have been higher than thou.Select Job 35:5

6If thou hast sinned, what dost thou against Him? And thy transgressions have been multiplied, What dost thou to Him?Select Job 35:6

7If thou hast been righteous, What dost thou give to Him? Or what from thy hand doth He receive?Select Job 35:7

8For a man like thyself is thy wickedness, And for a son of man thy righteousness.Select Job 35:8

9Because of the multitude of oppressions They cause to cry out, They cry because of the arm of the mighty.Select Job 35:9

10And none said, `Where is God my maker? Giving songs in the night,Select Job 35:10

11Teaching us more than the beasts of the earth, Yea, than the fowl of the heavens He maketh us wiser.'Select Job 35:11

12There they cry, and He doth not answer, Because of the pride of evil doers.Select Job 35:12

13Surely vanity God doth not hear, And the Mighty doth not behold it.Select Job 35:13

14Yea, though thou sayest thou dost not behold Him, Judgment is before Him, and stay for Him.Select Job 35:14

15And, now, because there is not, He hath appointed His anger, And He hath not known in great extremity.Select Job 35:15

16And Job with vanity doth open his mouth, Without knowledge words he multiplieth.Select Job 35:16
