nsb - Job:35

nsb@Job:35:1 @ ELIHU CONTINUED:

nsb@Job:35:2 @ »Do you think this to be just? You say: I am in the right before God.

nsb@Job:35:3 @ »If you ask: What advantage do I have? How am I better off than if I had sinned?

nsb@Job:35:4 @ »I will answer you and your friends with you.

nsb@Job:35:5 @ Look at the heavens, observe the clouds and see. They are higher than you.

nsb@Job:35:6 @ »If you have sinned, what do you accomplish against him? If your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him?

nsb@Job:35:7 @ »If you are righteous, what do you give to him? What does he receive from your hand?

nsb@Job:35:8 @ »Your wickedness affects others like you, and your righteousness, other human beings.

nsb@Job:35:9 @ »Because of the multitude of oppressions people cry out. They call for help because of the arm of the mighty.

nsb@Job:35:10 @ »However no one says: Where is God my Maker, who gives strength in the night?

nsb@Job:35:11 @ »Who teaches us more than the animals of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of the air?

nsb@Job:35:12 @ »They cry out, but he does not answer, because of the pride of evildoers.

nsb@Job:35:13 @ »Surely God does not hear an empty cry, nor does the Almighty regard it.

nsb@Job:35:14 @ »How much less when you say that you do not see him, that the case is before him, and you are waiting for him!

nsb@Job:35:15 @ »Because his anger does not punish, and he does not greatly heed transgression,

nsb@Job:35:16 @ »Job opens his mouth in empty talk. He multiplies words without knowledge.«
