Job 35
vw@Job:35:1 @ Moreover Elihu answered and said:
vw@Job:35:2 @ Do you think this is just? Do you say, I am more righteous than the Mighty God?
vw@Job:35:3 @ For you say, What advantage will it be to You? What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?
vw@Job:35:4 @ I will answer your words, and your friends with you.
vw@Job:35:5 @ Look to the heavens and see; and behold the clouds; they are higher than you.
vw@Job:35:6 @ If you sin, what do you do against Him? Or, if your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to Him?
vw@Job:35:7 @ If you are righteous, what do you give Him? Or what does He receive from your hand?
vw@Job:35:8 @ Your wickedness is for a man such as yourself, and your righteousness a son of man.
vw@Job:35:9 @ Because of the multitude of oppressions they cry out; they cry out for help because of the arm of the mighty.
vw@Job:35:10 @ But no one says, Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night,
vw@Job:35:11 @ who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?
vw@Job:35:12 @ There they cry out, but He does not answer, because of the arrogance of evil men.
vw@Job:35:13 @ Surely, the Mighty God will not listen to vanity, nor will the Almighty regard it.
vw@Job:35:14 @ Although you say you do not see Him, yet the case is before Him, and you must wait for Him.
vw@Job:35:15 @ And now, because He has not punished in His anger, nor taken notice of great folly,
vw@Job:35:16 @ therefore Job opens his mouth in vain; he multiplies words without knowledge.
