Job 35
</p>
<p>
1.
<b>Elihu spake </b>
moreover, and said,
<br/>
2. Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst,
<b> My righteousness is more than God's?</b>
<br/>
<b>3. For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I
have, if I be cleansed from my sin?</b>
<br/>
4. I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.
<br/>
5. Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou.
<br/>
6. If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied,
what doest thou unto him?
<br/>
7. If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand?
<br/>
<b>8. Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son
of man.</b>
<br/>
9. By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry
out by reason of the arm of the mighty.
<br/>
10. But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night;
<br/>
11. Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the
fowls of heaven?
<br/>
12. There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men.
<br/>
13. Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.
<br/>
14. Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore
trust thou in him.
<br/>
<b>15. But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not
in great extremity:</b>
<br/>
<b>16. Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.</b>
