The Book of Job

chapter 35


Chapters:


verse #1

Moreover Elihu answered,


verse #2

“Do you think this to be your right, or do you say, ‘My righteousness is more than God’s,’


verse #3

that you ask, ‘What advantage will it be to you? What profit will I have, more than if I had sinned?’


verse #4

I will answer you, and your companions with you.


verse #5

Look to the skies, and see. See the skies, which are higher than you.


verse #6

If you have sinned, what effect do you have against him? If your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him?


verse #7

If you are righteous, what do you give him? Or what does he receive from your hand?


verse #8

Your wickedness may hurt a man as you are, and your righteousness may profit a son of man.


verse #9

“By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out. They cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty.


verse #10

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


verse #11

who teaches us more than the animals of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?’


verse #12

There they cry, but no one answers, because of the pride of evil men.


verse #13

Surely God will not hear an empty cry, neither will the Almighty regard it.


verse #14

How much less when you say you don’t see him. The cause is before him, and you wait for him!


verse #15

But now, because he has not visited in his anger, neither does he greatly regard arrogance,


verse #16

therefore Job opens his mouth with empty talk, and he multiplies words without knowledge.”
