Job 35

American Standard Version

1Moreover ElihuH453 answered and saidH559,

2Thinkest thou this to be thy rightH4941,Or sayest thou, My righteousnessH6664 is more than God’s,3That thou sayest, What advantage will it be unto thee?And, What profitH3276 shall I have, more than if I had sinnedH2403?4I will answer thee,And thy companions with thee.5LookH7200 unto the heavensH8064, and seeH7200;And behold the skies, which are higherH1361 than thou.6If thou hast sinnedH2398, what effectest thou against him?And if thy transgressionsH6588 be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?7If thou be righteousH6663, what givest thou him?Or what receiveth he of thy handH3027?8Thy wickednessH7562may hurta manH376 as thou art;And thy righteousnessH6666 may profit a sonH1121 of manH376.9By reason of the multitudeH7230 of oppressionsH6217 they cryH2199 out;They cryH2199 for helpH7768 by reason of the armH2220 of the mighty.10But none saith, WhereH335 is GodH433 my Maker,Who giveth songsH2158 in the nightH3915,11Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earthH776,And maketh us wiser than the birdsH5775 of the heavensH8064?12There they cryH6817, but none giveth answerH6030,Because of the prideH1347 of evilH7451 men.13SurelyH389 GodH410 will not hearH8085 an emptycry,Neither will the AlmightyH7706 regard it.14How much less when thou sayest thou beholdest him not,The causeH1779 is before him, and thou waitest for him!15But nowH6258, because he hath not visitedH6485 in his angerH639,Neither doth he greatly regard arrogance;16Therefore doth JobH347 openH6475 his mouthH6310 in vanityH1892;He multiplieth wordsH4405 without knowledgeH1847.
