Job 35 :: Revised Standard Version (RSV)

Job 35:1And Eli'hu said:
Job 35:2"Do you think this to be just? Do you say, 'It is my right before God,'
Job 35:3that you ask, 'What advantage have I? How am I better off than if I had sinned?'
Job 35:4I will answer you and your friends with you.
Job 35:5Look at the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds, which are higher than you.
Job 35:6If you have sinned, what do you accomplish against him? And if your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him?
Job 35:7If you are righteous, what do you give to him; or what does he receive from your hand?
Job 35:8Your wickedness concerns a man like yourself, and your righteousness a son of man.
Job 35:9"Because of the multitude of oppressions people cry out; they call for help because of the arm of the mighty.
Job 35:10But none says, 'Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night,
Job 35:11who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of the air?'
Job 35:12There they cry out, but he does not answer, because of the pride of evil men.
Job 35:13Surely God does not hear an empty cry, nor does the Almighty regard it.
Job 35:14How much less when you say that you do not see him, that the case is before him, and you are waiting for him!
Job 35:15And now, because his anger does not punish, and he does not greatly heed transgression,
Job 35:16Job opens his mouth in empty talk, he multiplies words without knowledge."
