Job 35 :: Brenton's English Septuagint (BES)

Job 35:1And Elius resumed and said,
Job 35:2What is this that thou thinkest to be according to right? who art thou that thou hast said, I am righteous before the Lord?
Job 35:4I will answer thee, and thy three friends.
Job 35:5Look up to the sky and see; and consider the clouds, how high they are above thee.
Job 35:6If thou hast sinned, what wilt thou do? and if too thou hast transgressed much, what canst thou perform?
Job 35:7And suppose thou art righteous, what wilt thou give him? or what shall he receive of thy hand?
Job 35:8Thy ungodliness may affect a man who is like to thee; or thy righteousness a son of man.
Job 35:9They that are oppressed of a multitude will be ready to cry out; they will call for help because of the arm of many.
Job 35:10But none said, Where is God that made me, who appoints the night-watches;
Job 35:11who makes me to differ from the four-footed beasts of the earth, and from the birds of the sky?
Job 35:12There they shall cry, and none shall hearken, even because of the insolence of wicked men.
Job 35:13For the Lord desires not to look on error, for he is the Almighty One.
Job 35:14He beholds them that perform lawless deeds, and he will save me: and do thou plead before him, if thou canst praise him, as it is possible even now.
Job 35:15For he is not now regarding his wrath, nor has he noticed severely any trespass.
Job 35:16Yet Job vainly opens his mouth, in ignorance he multiplies words.
