Elihu spake moreover, and said,
|
| 35:2 |
Thinkest thou this to be right, [that] thou saidst, My righteousness [is] more than God's?
|
| 35:3 |
For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? [and], What profit shall I have, [if I be cleansed] from my sin?
|
| 35:4 |
I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.
|
| 35:5 |

|
| 35:6 |
If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or [if] thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?
|
| 35:7 |
If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand?
|
| 35:8 |

There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men.

|
| 35:14 |
Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, [yet] judgment [is] before him; therefore trust thou in him.
|
| 35:15 |
But now, because [it is] not [so], he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth [it] not in great extremity:
|
