Job 35 (WEBP)

[1] Moreover Elihu answered,
[2] “Do you think this to be your right, or do you say, ‘My righteousness is more than God’s,’
[3] that you ask, ‘What advantage will it be to you? What profit will I have, more than if I had sinned?’
[4] I will answer you, and your companions with you.
[5] Look to the skies, and see. See the skies, which are higher than you.
[6] If you have sinned, what effect do you have against him? If your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him?
[7] If you are righteous, what do you give him? Or what does he receive from your hand?
[8] Your wickedness may hurt a man as you are, and your righteousness may profit a son of man.
[9] “By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out. They cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty.
[10] But no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night,
[11] who teaches us more than the animals of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?’
[12] There they cry, but no one answers, because of the pride of evil men.
[13] Surely God will not hear an empty cry, neither will the Almighty regard it.
[14] How much less when you say you don’t see him. The cause is before him, and you wait for him!
[15] But now, because he has not visited in his anger, neither does he greatly regard arrogance,
[16] therefore Job opens his mouth with empty talk, and he multiplies words without knowledge.”

King James w/Strong’s #s

Job 35 (KJVS)

[1] Elihu spake moreover, and said,
[2] Thinkest thou this to be right, That thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God’s?
[3] For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? And, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?
[4] I will answer thee, And thy companions with thee.
[5] Look unto the heavens, and see; And behold the clouds which are higher than thou.
[6] If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? Or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?
[7] If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? Or what receiveth he of thine hand?
[8] Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; And thy righteousness may profit the son of man.
[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.
[10] But none saith, Where is God my maker, Who giveth songs in the night;
[11] Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, And maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?
[12] There they cry, but none giveth answer, Because of the pride of evil men.
[13] Surely God will not hear vanity, Neither will the Almighty regard it.
[14] Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, Yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him.
[15] But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; Yet he knoweth it not in great extremity:
[16] Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; He multiplieth words without knowledge.

Job 35:3 Or, if by it more then by my sin
Job 35:4 Heb. I will return to thee words
Job 35:15a That is God
