Job 35 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

“Do you think ^H2803 this ^H2088 is according to justice ^H4941?

Do you say ^H559, ‘My righteousness ^H6664 is more ^H4480 than ^H4480 God’s ^H410’?

“For you say ^H559, ‘What ^H4100 use ^H5532 will it be ^H5532 to [fn]You?

What ^H4100 profit ^H3276 will I have, more ^H4480 than ^H4480 if I had sinned ^H2403?’

“I will respond ^H7725 H4405 to you,

And your friends ^H7453 with you.

“Look ^H5027 at the heavens ^H8064 and see ^H7200;

And perceive ^H7789 the clouds ^H7834—they are ^H1361 higher ^H1361 than ^H4480 you.

“If ^H518 you have sinned ^H2398, what ^H4100 do you accomplish ^H6466 against Him?

And if your transgressions ^H6588 are ^H7231 many ^H7231, what ^H4100 do you do ^H6213 to Him?

“If ^H518 you are ^H6663 righteous ^H6663, what ^H4100 do you give ^H5414 to Him,

Or ^H176 what ^H4100 does He receive ^H3947 from your hand ^H3027?

“Your wickedness ^H7562 is for a man ^H376 like ^H3644 yourself,

And your righteousness ^H6666 is for a son ^H1121 of man ^H120.

“Because ^H4480 of many ^H7230 oppressions ^H6217 they cry ^H2199 out ^H2199;

They cry ^H7768 for ^H7768 help ^H7768 because ^H4480 of the arm ^H2220 of many ^H7227 oppressors.

“But no ^H3808 one says ^H559, ‘Where ^H346 is God ^H433 my Maker ^H6213,

Who gives ^H5414 songs ^H2158 of praise ^H2158 in the night ^H3915,

Who teaches ^H502 us more ^H4480 than ^H4480 the beasts ^H929 of the earth ^H776

And makes ^H2449 us wiser ^H2449 than ^H4480 the birds ^H5775 of the heavens ^H8064?’

“There ^H8033 they cry ^H6817 out ^H6817, but He does not answer ^H6030

Because ^H4480 H6440 of the pride ^H1347 of evil ^H7451 men ^H7451.

“Surely ^H389 God ^H410 will not listen ^H8085 to [fn]an empty ^H7723 cry,

Nor ^H3808 will the Almighty ^H7706 perceive ^H7789 it.

“How ^H637 much ^H637 less ^H637 when ^H3588 you say ^H559 you do not perceive ^H7789 Him,

The case ^H1779 is before ^H6440 Him, and you must wait ^H2342 for Him!

“And now ^H6258, because ^H3588 He has not visited ^H6485 in His anger ^H639,

Nor ^H3808 has He acknowledged ^H3045 [fn]transgression ^H6588 well ^H3966,

So Job ^H347 opens ^H6475 his mouth ^H6310 vainly ^H1892;

He multiplies ^H3527 words ^H4405 without ^H1097 knowledge ^H1847.”
