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.”

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 (BYZ)

[1] υπολαβων δε ελιους λεγει
[2] τι τουτο ηγησω εν κρισει συ τις ει οτι ειπας δικαιος ειμι εναντι κυριου
[3] η ερεις τι ποιησω αμαρτων
[4] εγω σοι δωσω αποκρισιν και τοις τρισιν φιλοις σου
[5] αναβλεψον εις τον ουρανον και ιδε καταμαθε δε νεφη ως υψηλα απο σου
[6] ει ημαρτες τι πραξεις ει δε και πολλα ηνομησας τι δυνασαι ποιησαι
[7] επει δε ουν δικαιος ει τι δωσεις αυτω η τι εκ χειρος σου λημψεται
[8] ανδρι τω ομοιω σου η ασεβεια σου και υιω ανθρωπου η δικαιοσυνη σου
[9] απο πληθους συκοφαντουμενοι κεκραξονται βοησονται απο βραχιονος πολλων
[10] και ουκ ειπεν που εστιν ο θεος ο ποιησας με ο κατατασσων φυλακας νυκτερινας
[11] ο διοριζων με απο τετραποδων γης απο δε πετεινων ουρανου
[12] εκει κεκραξονται και ου μη εισακουση και απο υβρεως πονηρων
[13] ατοπα γαρ ου βουλεται ο κυριος ιδειν αυτος γαρ ο παντοκρατωρ ορατης εστιν
[14] των συντελουντων τα ανομα και σωσει με κριθητι δε εναντιον αυτου ει δυνασαι αινεσαι αυτον ως εστιν
[15] και νυν οτι ουκ εστιν επισκεπτομενος οργην αυτου και ουκ εγνω παραπτωματι σφοδρα
[16] και ιωβ ματαιως ανοιγει το στομα αυτου εν αγνωσια ρηματα βαρυνει
