(Job 35:1) Elihu spake moreover, and said,
(Job 35:2) Thinkest thou this to be right, {that} thou saidst, My righteousness {is} more than God's?
(Job 35:3) For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? {and}, What profit shall I have, {if I be cleansed} from my sin?
(Job 35:4) I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.
(Job 35:5) Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds {which} are higher than thou.
(Job 35:6) If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or {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 thine hand?
(Job 35:8) Thy wickedness {may hurt} a man as thou {art}; and thy righteousness {may profit} the son of man.
(Job 35:9) By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make {the oppressed} to cry: they cry out 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 fowls of heaven?
(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 vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.
(Job 35:14) Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, {yet} judgment {is} before him; therefore trust thou in him.
(Job 35:15) But now, because {it is} not {so}, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth {it} not in great extremity:
(Job 35:16) Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.
