Job 35
1 Elihu spake moreouer, and said,
| וַיַּ֥עַן אֱלִיה֗וּ וַיֹּאמַֽר׃ |
2 Thinkest thou this right, that thou hast said, I am more righteous then God?
| הֲ֭זֹאת חָשַׁ֣בְתָּ לְמִשְׁפָּ֑ט אָ֝מַ֗רְתָּ צִדְקִ֥י מֵאֵֽל׃ |
3 For thou hast said, What profiteth it thee and what auaileth it me, to purge me from my sinne?
| כִּֽי־תֹ֭אמַר מַה־יִּסְכָּן־לָ֑ךְ מָֽה־אֹ֝עִ֗יל מֵֽחַטָּאתִֽי׃ |
4 Therefore will I answere thee, and thy companions with thee.
| אֲ֭נִי אֲשִֽׁיבְךָ֣ מִלִּ֑ין וְֽאֶת־רֵעֶ֥יךָ עִמָּֽךְ׃ |
5 Looke vnto the heauen, and see and behold the cloudes which are hyer then thou.
| הַבֵּ֣ט שָׁמַ֣יִם וּרְאֵ֑ה וְשׁ֥וּר שְׁ֝חָקִ֗ים גָּבְה֥וּ מִמֶּֽךָּ׃ |
6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him, yea, when thy sinnes be many, what doest thou vnto him?
| אִם־חָ֭טָאתָ מַה־תִּפְעָל־בֹּ֑ו וְרַבּ֥וּ פְ֝שָׁעֶ֗יךָ מַה־תַּעֲשֶׂה־לֹּֽו׃ |
7 If thou be righteous, what giuest thou vnto him? or what receiueth he at thine hand?
| אִם־צָ֭דַקְתָּ מַה־תִּתֶּן־לֹ֑ו אֹ֥ו מַה־מִיָּדְךָ֥ יִקָּֽח׃ |
8 Thy wickednesse may hurt a man as thou art: and thy righteousnes may profite ye sonne of man.
| לְאִישׁ־כָּמֹ֥וךָ רִשְׁעֶ֑ךָ וּלְבֶן־אָ֝דָ֗ם צִדְקָתֶֽךָ׃ |
9 They cause many that are oppressed, to crye, which crye out for ye violence of the mightie.
| מֵ֭רֹב עֲשׁוּקִ֣ים יַזְעִ֑יקוּ יְשַׁוְּע֖וּ מִזְּרֹ֣ועַ רַבִּֽים׃ |
10 But none saieth, Where is God that made me, which giueth songs in the nyght?
| וְֽלֹא־אָמַ֗ר אַ֭יֵּה אֱלֹ֣והַּ עֹשָׂ֑י נֹתֵ֖ן זְמִרֹ֣ות בַּלָּֽיְלָה׃ |
11 Which teacheth vs more then the beastes of the earth, and giueth vs more wisdome then the foules of the heauen.
| מַ֭לְּפֵנוּ מִבַּהֲמֹ֣ות אָ֑רֶץ וּמֵעֹ֖וף הַשָּׁמַ֣יִם יְחַכְּמֵֽנוּ׃ |
12 Then they crye because of the violence of the wicked, but he answereth not.
| שָׁ֣ם יִ֭צְעֲקוּ וְלֹ֣א יַעֲנֶ֑ה מִ֝פְּנֵ֗י גְּאֹ֣ון רָעִֽים׃ |
13 Surely God will not heare vanitie, neyther will the Almightie regard it.
| אַךְ־שָׁ֭וְא לֹא־יִשְׁמַ֥ע ׀ אֵ֑ל וְ֝שַׁדַּ֗י לֹ֣א יְשׁוּרֶֽנָּה׃ |
14 Although thou sayest to God, Thou wilt not regard it, yet iudgement is before him: trust thou in him.
| אַ֣ף כִּֽי־תֹ֖אמַר לֹ֣א תְשׁוּרֶ֑נּוּ דִּ֥ין לְ֝פָנָ֗יו וּתְחֹ֥ולֵֽל לֹֽו׃ |
15 But nowe because his anger hath not visited, nor called to count the euill with great extremitie,
| וְעַתָּ֗ה כִּי־אַ֭יִן פָּקַ֣ד אַפֹּ֑ו וְלֹֽא־יָדַ֖ע בַּפַּ֣שׁ מְאֹֽד׃ |
16 Therfore Iob openeth his mouth in vaine, and multiplieth wordes without knowledge.
| וְ֭אִיֹּוב הֶ֣בֶל יִפְצֶה־פִּ֑יהוּ בִּבְלִי־דַ֝֗עַת מִלִּ֥ין יַכְבִּֽר׃ פ |
