Job  


35 : 1 Then Elihu continued and said,
35 : 2 Do you think this is according to justice? Do you say, `My righteousness is more than God`s`?
35 : 3 For you say, `What advantage will it be to You? What profit will I have, more than if I had sinned?`
35 : 4 I will answer you, And your friends with you.
35 : 5 Look at the heavens and see; And behold the clouds--they are higher than you.
35 : 6 If you have sinned, what do you accomplish against Him? And if your transgressions are many, what do you do to Him?
35 : 7 If you are righteous, what do you give to Him, Or what does He receive from your hand?
35 : 8 Your wickedness is for a man like yourself, And your righteousness is for a son of man.
35 : 9 Because of the multitude of oppressions they cry out; They cry for help because of the arm of the mighty.
35 : 10 But no one says, `Where is God my Maker, Who gives songs in the night,
35 : 11 Who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth And makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?`
35 : 12 There they cry out, but He does not answer Because of the pride of evil men.
35 : 13 Surely God will not listen to an empty cry, Nor will the Almighty regard it.
35 : 14 How much less when you say you do not behold Him, The case is before Him, and you must wait for Him!
35 : 15 And now, because He has not visited in His anger, Nor has He acknowledged transgression well,
35 : 16 So Job opens his mouth emptily; He multiplies words without knowledge."
