Geneva1599 - Job - 35

35:1  Elihu spake moreouer, and said,

35:2  Thinkest thou this right, that thou hast said, I am more righteous then God?

35:3  For thou hast said, What profiteth it thee and what auaileth it me, to purge me from my sinne?

35:4  Therefore will I answere thee, and thy companions with thee.

35:5  Looke vnto the heauen, and see and behold the cloudes which are hyer then thou.

35:6  If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him, yea, when thy sinnes be many, what doest thou vnto him?

35:7  If thou be righteous, what giuest thou vnto him? or what receiueth he at thine hand?

35:8  Thy wickednesse may hurt a man as thou art: and thy righteousnes may profite ye sonne of man.

35:9  They cause many that are oppressed, to crye, which crye out for ye violence of the mightie.

35:10  But none saieth, Where is God that made me, which giueth songs in the nyght?

35:11  Which teacheth vs more then the beastes of the earth, and giueth vs more wisdome then the foules of the heauen.

35:12  Then they crye because of the violence of the wicked, but he answereth not.

35:13  Surely God will not heare vanitie, neyther will the Almightie regard it.

35:14  Although thou sayest to God, Thou wilt not regard it, yet iudgement is before him: trust thou in him.

35:15  But nowe because his anger hath not visited, nor called to count the euill with great extremitie,

35:16  Therfore Iob openeth his mouth in vaine, and multiplieth wordes without knowledge.
