YLT - Job - 35

35:1  And Elihu answereth and saith: --

35:2  This hast thou reckoned for judgment: Thou hast said--`My righteousness is more than God's?'

35:3  For thou sayest, `What doth it profit Thee! What do I profit from my sin?'

35:4  I return thee words, and thy friends with thee,

35:5  Behold attentively the heavens--and see, And behold the clouds, They have been higher than thou.

35:6  If thou hast sinned, what dost thou against Him? And thy transgressions have been multiplied, What dost thou to Him?

35:7  If thou hast been righteous, What dost thou give to Him? Or what from thy hand doth He receive?

35:8  For a man like thyself is thy wickedness, And for a son of man thy righteousness.

35:9  Because of the multitude of oppressions They cause to cry out, They cry because of the arm of the mighty.

35:10  And none said, `Where is God my maker? Giving songs in the night,

35:11  Teaching us more than the beasts of the earth, Yea, than the fowl of the heavens He maketh us wiser.'

35:12  There they cry, and He doth not answer, Because of the pride of evil doers.

35:13  Surely vanity God doth not hear, And the Mighty doth not behold it.

35:14  Yea, though thou sayest thou dost not behold Him, Judgment is before Him, and stay for Him.

35:15  And, now, because there is not, He hath appointed His anger, And He hath not known in great extremity.

35:16  And Job with vanity doth open his mouth, Without knowledge words he multiplieth.
