Job 35 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

Elihu Sharply Reproves Job

Job 35:1

Job 35:1Moreover Elihu answered and said,

Job 35:2

Thinkest thou this to be thy right,

Or sayest thou, My righteousness is more than God’s,

Job 35:3

That thou sayest, What advantage will it be unto thee?

And, What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?

Job 35:4

I will answer thee,

And thy companions with thee.

Job 35:5

Look unto the heavens, and see;

And behold the skies, which are higher than thou.

Job 35:6

If thou hast sinned, what effectest thou against him?

And if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?

Job 35:7

If thou be righteous, what givest thou him?

Or what receiveth he of thy hand?

Job 35:8

Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art;

And thy righteousness may profit a son of man.

Job 35:9

By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out;

They cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty.

Job 35:10

But none saith, Where is God my Maker,

Who giveth songs in the night,

Job 35:11

Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth,

And maketh us wiser than the birds of the heavens?

Job 35:12

There they cry, but none giveth answer,

Because of the pride of evil men.

Job 35:13

Surely God will not hear an empty cry,

Neither will the Almighty regard it.

Job 35:14

How much less when thou sayest thou beholdest him not,

The cause is before him, and thou waitest for him!

Job 35:15

But now, because he hath not visited in his anger,

Neither doth he greatly regard arrogance;

Job 35:16

Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vanity;

He multiplieth words without knowledge.
