Job:35

* Elihu spoke moreover , and said , * Think you this to be right , that you said , My righteousness is more than God 's ? * For you said , What advantage will it be unto you ? and , What profit shall I have , if I be cleansed from my sin ? * I will answer you , and your companions with you . * Look unto the heavens , and see ; and behold the clouds which are higher than you . * If you sin , what do you against him ? or if your transgressions be multiplied , what do you unto him ? * If you be righteous , what give you him ? or what receives he of yours hand ? * Your wickedness may hurt a man as you are ; and your righteousness may profit the son of man . * By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry : they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty . * But none says , Where is God my maker , who gives songs in the night ; * Who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth , and makes us wiser than the fowls of heaven ? * There they cry , but none gives answer , because of the pride of evil men . * Surely God will not hear vanity , neither will the Almighty regard it . * Although you says you shall not see him , yet judgment is before him ; therefore trust you in him . * But now , because it is not so , he has visited in his anger ; yet he knows it not in great extremity : * Therefore does Job open his mouth in vain ; he multiplies words without knowledge .
