Job 35

1 Moreover Elihu answered and said,

Elihu spake moreouer, and said,

2 Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God's?

Thinkest thou this right, that thou hast said, I am more righteous then God?

3 For thou hast asked of what profit it is unto thee: what do I gain more than if I had sinned?

For thou hast said, What profiteth it thee and what auaileth it me, to purge me from my sinne?

4 I will reply to thee in words, and to thy companions with thee.

Therefore will I answere thee, and thy companions with thee.

5 Look unto the heavens and see; and survey the skies: they are higher than thou.

Looke vnto the heauen, and see and behold the cloudes which are hyer then thou.

6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? If thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?

If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him, yea, when thy sinnes be many, what doest thou vnto him?

7 If thou be righteous, what givest thou to him? or what doth he receive of thy hand?

If thou be righteous, what giuest thou vnto him? or what receiueth he at thine hand?

8 Thy wickedness [may affect] a man as thou [art], and thy righteousness a son of man.

Thy wickednesse may hurt a man as thou art: and thy righteousnes may profite ye sonne of man.

9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry; they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty:

They cause many that are oppressed, to crye, which crye out for ye violence of the mightie.

10 But none saith, Where is God my Maker, who giveth songs in the night,

But none saieth, Where is God that made me, which giueth songs in the nyght?

11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowl of the heavens?

Which teacheth vs more then the beastes of the earth, and giueth vs more wisdome then the foules of the heauen.

12 There they cry, and he answereth not, because of the pride of evil men.

Then they crye because of the violence of the wicked, but he answereth not.

13 Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.

Surely God will not heare vanitie, neyther will the Almightie regard it.

14 Although thou sayest thou dost not see him, judgment is before him, therefore wait for him.

Although thou sayest to God, Thou wilt not regard it, yet iudgement is before him: trust thou in him.

15 But now, because he hath not visited in his anger, doth not [Job] know [his] great arrogancy?

But nowe because his anger hath not visited, nor called to count the euill with great extremitie,

16 For Job hath opened his mouth in vanity, and made words abundant without knowledge.

Therfore Iob openeth his mouth in vaine, and multiplieth wordes without knowledge.
