< Job 35 >

1 Then Elihu continued, saying,
and to answer Elihu and to say
2 “Do you think it's honest to claim you are right before God?
this to devise: think to/for justice to say righteousness my from God
3 And you ask, ‘What benefit do I get? What good has it done me by not sinning?’
for to say what? be useful to/for you what? to gain from sin my
4 I'll tell you, and your friends too!
I to return: return you speech and [obj] neighbor your with you
5 Just look up at the sky and see. Observe the clouds high above you.
to look heaven and to see: see and to see cloud to exult from you
6 If you sin, how does that harm God? How do your many sins affect God?
if to sin what? to work in/on/with him and to multiply transgression your what? to make: do to/for him
7 If you do what's right, what good are you doing for him?
if to justify what? to give: give to/for him or what? from hand your to take: recieve
8 No—your sins only affect people like yourself, and whatever good you do only affects them too.
to/for man like you wickedness your and to/for son: child man righteousness your
9 People cry out because of terrible persecution; they call for someone to save them from their oppressors.
from abundance oppression to cry out to cry from arm many
10 But no one asks, ‘Where is the God my maker, the one who gives songs in the night,
and not to say where? god to make me to give: give song in/on/with night
11 who teaches us more than the animals, and makes us wiser than the birds?’
to teach/learn us from animal land: soil and from bird [the] heaven be wise us
12 When they call out for help, God doesn't answer because they are proud and evil people.
there to cry and not to answer from face: because pride bad: evil
13 God doesn't listen to their empty cries; the Almighty doesn't pay them any attention.
surely vanity: vain not to hear: hear God and Almighty not to see her
14 How much less will God hear you when you say he can't see you? Your case is before him, so you have to wait for him.
also for to say not to see him judgment to/for face: before his and to twist: anticipate to/for him
15 You're saying that God doesn't punish people in his anger and pays little attention to sin.
and now for nothing to reckon: punish face: anger his and not to know in/on/with folly much
16 You, Job, are talking nonsense, making long speeches when you know nothing!”
and Job vanity to open lip his in/on/with without knowledge speech to multiply
