UKJV - Job - 35

35:1  Elihu spoke moreover, and said,

35:2  Think you this to be right, that you said, My righteousness is more than God's?

35:3  For you said, What advantage will it be unto you? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?

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

35:5  Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than you.

35:6  If you sin, what do you against him? or if your transgressions be multiplied, what do you unto him?

35:7  If you be righteous, what give you him? or what receives he of your hand?

35:8  Your wickedness may hurt a man as you are; and your righteousness may profit the son of man.

35:9  By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.

35:10  But none says, Where is God my maker, who gives songs in the night;

35:11  Who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth, and makes us wiser than the fowls of heaven?

35:12  There they cry, but none gives answer, because of the pride of evil men.

35:13  Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.

35:14  Although you say you shall not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust you in him.

35:15  But now, because it is not so, he has visited in his anger; yet he knows it not in great extremity:

35:16  Therefore does Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplies words without knowledge.
