Job  


35 : 1 Moreover Elihu answered and said,
35 : 2 Thinkest thou this to be thy right, Or sayest thou, My righteousness is more than God's,
35 : 3 That thou sayest, What advantage will it be unto thee? And, What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?
35 : 4 I will answer thee, And thy companions with thee.
35 : 5 Look unto the heavens, and see; And behold the skies, which are higher than thou.
35 : 6 If thou hast sinned, what effectest thou against him? And 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 thy hand?
35 : 8 Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; And thy righteousness may profit a son of man.
35 : 9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out; They cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty.
35 : 10 But none saith, Where is God my Maker, Who giveth songs in the night,
35 : 11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, And maketh us wiser than the birds of the heavens?
35 : 12 There they cry, but none giveth answer, Because of the pride of evil men.
35 : 13 Surely God will not hear an empty cry, Neither will the Almighty regard it.
35 : 14 How much less when thou sayest thou beholdest him not, The cause is before him, and thou waitest for him!
35 : 15 But now, because he hath not visited in his anger, Neither doth he greatly regard arrogance;
35 : 16 Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vanity; He multiplieth words without knowledge.
