| Chapter 35 |
1 |
Moreover Elihu answered and said, |
2 |
Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than łGod`s? |
3 |
For thou hast asked of what profit it is unto thee: what do I gain more than if I had sinned? |
4 |
I will reply to thee in words, and to thy companions with thee. |
5 |
Look unto the heavens and see; and survey the skies: they are higher than thou. |
6 |
If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? If thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him? |
7 |
If thou be righteous, what givest thou to him? or what doth he receive of thy hand? |
8 |
Thy wickedness may affect a man as thou art, and thy righteousness a son of man. |
9 |
By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry; they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty: |
10 |
But none saith, Where is +God my Maker, who giveth songs in the night, |
11 |
Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowl of the heavens? |
12 |
There they cry, and he answereth not, because of the pride of evil men. |
13 |
Surely łGod will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it. |
14 |
Although thou sayest thou dost not see him, judgment is before him, therefore wait for him. |
15 |
But now, because he hath not visited in his anger, doth not Job know his great arrogancy? |
16 |
For Job hath opened his mouth in vanity, and made words abundant without knowledge. |
