| 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.
