noyes - Job:35

noyes@Job:35:1 @ Moreover Elihu proceeded, and said:

noyes@Job:35:2 @ Dost thou then think this to be right? Thou hast said, "I am more righteous than God."

noyes@Job:35:3 @ For thou askest, "What advantage have I? What have I gained, more than if I had sinned?"

noyes@Job:35:4 @ I will answer thee, And thy companions with thee.

noyes@Job:35:5 @ Look up to the heavens, and see! And behold the clouds, which are high above thee!

noyes@Job:35:6 @ If thou sinnest, what doest thou against Him? If thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou to him?

noyes@Job:35:7 @ If thou art righteous, what dost thou give him? Or what receiveth he at thy hand?

noyes@Job:35:8 @ Thy wickedness injureth only a man like thyself, And thy righteousness profiteth only a son of man.

noyes@Job:35:9 @ The oppressed cry out on account of the multitude of wrongs; They cry aloud on account of the arm of the mighty.

noyes@Job:35:10 @ But none saith, "Where is God, my Maker, Who giveth songs in the night;

noyes@Job:35:11 @ Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, And maketh us wiser than the birds of heaven?"

noyes@Job:35:12 @ There they cry aloud on account of the pride of the wicked; But he giveth no answer.

noyes@Job:35:13 @ For God will not hear the vain supplication, Nor will the Almighty regard it;

noyes@Job:35:14 @ Much less when thou sayest thou canst not see him: Justice is with him,only wait thou for him!

noyes@Job:35:15 @ But now, because he hath not visited in his anger, Nor taken strict note of transgression,

noyes@Job:35:16 @ Therefore hath Job opened his mouth rashly, And multiplied words without knowledge.
