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