Unchecked Copy BoxJob 35:1 -

Elihu continued speaking [to Job] and said,

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 35:2 -

“Do you think this is according to [your] justice?

Do you say, ‘My righteousness is more than God’s’?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 35:3 -

“For you say, ‘What advantage have you [by living a righteous life]?

What profit will I have, more [by being righteous] than if I had sinned?’

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 35:4 -

“I will answer you,

And your companions with you.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 35:5 -

“Look to the heavens and see;

And behold the skies which are [much] higher than you.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 35:6 -

“If you have sinned, what do you accomplish against Him?

And if your transgressions are multiplied, what have you done to Him?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 35:7 -

“If you are righteous, what do you give God,

Or what does He receive from your hand?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 35:8 -

“Your wickedness affects only a man such as you,

And your righteousness affects only [fn]a son of man [but it cannot affect God, who is sovereign].

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 35:9 -

“Because of the multitudes of oppressions the people cry out;

They cry for help because of the [violent] arm of the mighty.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 35:10 -

“But no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker,

Who gives songs [of rejoicing] in the night,

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 35:11 -

Who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth

And makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?’

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 35:12 -

“The people cry out, but He does not answer

Because of the pride of evil men.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 35:13 -

“Surely God will not listen to an empty cry [which lacks trust],

Nor will the Almighty regard it.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 35:14 -

“Even though you say that you do not see Him [when missing His righteous judgment on earth],

Yet your case is before Him, and you must wait for Him!

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 35:15 -

“And now, because He has not [quickly] punished in His anger,

Nor has He acknowledged transgression and arrogance well [and seems unaware of the wrong of which a person is guilty],

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 35:16 -

Job uselessly opens his mouth

And multiplies words without knowledge [drawing the worthless conclusion that the righteous have no more advantage than the wicked].”
