Job 35

1Moreover Eliu spoke these words:● 2Doth thy thought seem right to thee, that thou shouldst say: I am more just than God?● 3For thou saidst: That which is right doth not please thee: or what will it profit thee if I sin?● 4Therefore I will answer thy words, and thy friends with thee.● 5Look up to heaven and see, and behold the sky, that it is higher than thee.● 6If thou sin, what shalt thou hurt him? and if thy iniquities be multiplied, what shalt thou do against him?● 7And if thou do justly, what shalt thou give him, or what shall he receive of thy hand?● 8Thy wickedness may hurt a man that is like thee: and thy justice may help the son of man.● 9By reason of the multitude of oppressors they shall cry out: and shall wail for the violence of the arm of tyrants.● 10And he hath not said: Where is God, who made me, who hath given songs in the night?● 11Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and instructeth us more than the fowls of the air.● 12There shall they cry, and he will not hear, because of the pride of evil men.● 13God therefore will not hear in vain, and the Almighty will look into the causes of every one.● 14Yea, when thou shalt say: He considereth not: be judged before him, and expect him.● 15For he doth not now bring on his fury, neither doth he revenge wickedness exceedingly.● 16Therefore Job openeth his mouth in vain, and multiplieth words without knowledge.●
