job 35

1 - Moreover Elihu answered,

2 - "Do you think this to be your right,or do you say, 'My righteousness is more than God's,'

3 - That you ask, 'What advantage will it be to you?What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?'

4 - I will answer you,and your companions with you.

5 - Look to the heavens, and see.See the skies, which are higher than you.

6 - If you have sinned, what effect do you have against him?If your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him?

7 - If you are righteous, what do you give him?Or what does he receive from your hand?

8 - Your wickedness may hurt a man as you are,and your righteousness may profit a son of man.

9 - "By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out.They cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty.

10 - But no one says, 'Where is God my Maker,who gives songs in the night,

11 - who teaches us more than the animals of the earth,and makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?'

12 - There they cry, but no one gives answer,because of the pride of evil men.

13 - Surely God will not hear an empty cry,neither will the Almighty regard it.

14 - How much less when you say you don't see him.The cause is before him, and you wait for him!

15 - But now, because he has not visited in his anger,neither does he greatly regard arrogance.

16 - Therefore Job opens his mouth with empty talk,and he multiplies words without knowledge."
