Then Elihu continued and said,
|
| 35:2 |
"Do you think this is according to justice? Do you say, 'My righteousness is more than God's'?
|
| 35:3 |
"For you say, 'What advantage will it be to You? What profit will I have, more than if I had sinned?'
|
| 35:4 |
"I will answer you, And your friends with you.
|
| 35:5 |
"Look at the heavens and see; And behold the clouds--they are higher than you.
|
| 35:6 |
"If you have sinned, what do you accomplish against Him? And if your transgressions are many, what do you do to Him?
|
| 35:7 |
"If you are righteous, what do you give to Him, Or what does He receive from your hand?
|
| 35:8 |
"Your wickedness is for a man like yourself, And your righteousness is for a son of man.
|
| 35:9 |
"Because of the multitude of oppressions they cry out; They cry for help because of the arm of the mighty.
|
| 35:10 |
"But no one 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 birds of the heavens?'
|
| 35:12 |
"There they cry out, but He does not answer Because of the pride of evil men.
|
| 35:13 |
"Surely God will not listen to an empty cry, Nor will the Almighty regard it.
|
| 35:14 |
"How much less when you say you do not behold Him, The case is before Him, and you must wait for Him!
|
| 35:15 |
"And now, because He has not visited in His anger, Nor has He acknowledged transgression well,
|
| 35:16 |
So Job opens his mouth emptily; He multiplies words without knowledge."
