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