Job 35 — LSV

35Verse 1And Elihu answers and says:^{Verse 2}“Have you reckoned this for judgment [when] you have said, || My righteousness [is] more than God’s?^{Verse 3}For you say, What does it profit You? What do I profit from my sin?^{Verse 4}I return words, and your friends with you,^{Verse 5}Behold attentively the heavens—and see, || And behold the clouds, || They have been higher than you.^{Verse 6}If you have sinned, what do you do against Him? And your transgressions have been multiplied, || What do you do to Him?^{Verse 7}If you have been righteous, || What do you give to Him? Or what does He receive from your hand?^{Verse 8}For a man like yourself [is] your wickedness, || And for a son of man your righteousness.^{Verse 9}Because of the multitude of oppressions || They cause to cry out, || They cry because of the arm of the mighty.^{Verse 10}And none said, Where [is] God my Maker? Giving songs in the night,^{Verse 11}Teaching us more than the beasts of the earth, || Indeed, He makes us wiser than the bird of the heavens.^{Verse 12}There they cry, and He does not answer, || Because of the pride of evildoers.^{Verse 13}Surely God does not hear vanity, || And the Mighty does not behold it.^{Verse 14}Indeed, though you say you do not behold Him, || Judgment [is] before Him, and stays for Him.^{Verse 15}And now, because there is not, || He has appointed His anger, || And He has not known in great extremity.^{Verse 16}And Job opens his mouth [with] vanity, || He multiplies words without knowledge.”
