AB - Job - 35

35:1  And Elihu resumed and said,

35:2  What is this that you think is right? Who are you that you have said, I am righteous before the Lord?

35:3  I will answer you, and your three friends.

35:4  Look up to the sky and see; and consider the clouds, how high they are above you.

35:5  If you have sinned, what will you do?

35:6  And if you have also transgressed much, what can you perform?

35:7  And suppose you are righteous, what will you give Him? Or what shall He receive from your hand?

35:8  Your ungodliness may affect a man such as you; or your righteousness a son of man.

35:9  They that are oppressed of a multitude will be ready to cry out; they will call for help because of the arm of many.

35:10  But none said, Where is God that made me, who appoints the night watches;

35:11  who makes me to differ from the four-footed beasts of the earth, and from the birds of the sky?

35:12  There they shall cry, and none shall hear, even because of the insolence of wicked men.

35:13  For the Lord desires not to look on error, for He is the Almighty One.

35:14  He beholds them that perform lawless deeds, and He will save me: and do you plead before Him, if you can praise Him, as it is possible even now?

35:15  For He is not now regarding His wrath, nor has He noticed severely any trespass.

35:16  Yet Job vainly opens his mouth, in ignorance he multiplies words.
