LITV - Job - 35

35:1  And Elihu answered and said:

35:2  Do you think this to be just, you that say, I am more just than God?

35:3  For you say, What will it benefit you? What shall I profit more than if I had sinned?

35:4  I will answer your words, and your friends with you.

35:5  Observe the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds, they are higher than you.

35:6  If you sin, what do you do against Him? Or if your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to Him?

35:7  If you are righteous, what do you give to Him? Or what does He receive from your hand?

35:8  Your wickedness is for a man like yourself; and your righteousness may profit a son of man.

35:9  From the host of tyrannies, they cry out; they cry because of the arm of the multitude.

35:10  But no one says, Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night,

35:11  teaching us more than the animals of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?

35:12  There they cry, but He does not answer, because of the pride of evildoers.

35:13  Surely, God will not hear vanity, nor will the Almighty look upon it.

35:14  How much less when you say you do not see Him! Judgment is before Him, and you are waiting for Him.

35:15  And now, because His anger has not visited, and He does not recognize great stupidity,

35:16  even Job vainly opens his mouth; he multiplies words without knowledge.
