Job 35
1 Elihu spake moreouer, and said,
Igitur Eliu hæc rursum locutus est:
2 Thinkest thou this right, that thou hast said, I am more righteous then God?
Numquid æqua tibi videtur tua cogitatio, ut diceres: Iustior sum Deo?
3 For thou hast said, What profiteth it thee and what auaileth it me, to purge me from my sinne?
Dixisti enim: Non tibi placet quod rectum est: vel quid tibi proderit, si ego peccavero?
4 Therefore will I answere thee, and thy companions with thee.
Itaque ego respondebo sermonibus tuis, et amicis tuis tecum.
5 Looke vnto the heauen, and see and behold the cloudes which are hyer then thou.
Suspice cælum et intuere, et contemplare æthera quod altior te sit.
6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him, yea, when thy sinnes be many, what doest thou vnto him?
Si peccaveris, quid ei nocebis? et si multiplicatæ fuerint iniquitates tuæ, quid facies contra eum?
7 If thou be righteous, what giuest thou vnto him? or what receiueth he at thine hand?
Porro si iuste egeris, quid donabis ei, aut quid de manu tua accipiet?
8 Thy wickednesse may hurt a man as thou art: and thy righteousnes may profite ye sonne of man.
Homini, qui similis tui est, nocebit impietas tua: et filium hominis adiuvabit iustitia tua.
9 They cause many that are oppressed, to crye, which crye out for ye violence of the mightie.
Propter multitudinem calumniatorum clamabunt: et eiulabunt propter vim brachii tyrannorum.
10 But none saieth, Where is God that made me, which giueth songs in the nyght?
Et non dixit: Ubi est Deus, qui fecit me, qui dedit carmina in nocte,
11 Which teacheth vs more then the beastes of the earth, and giueth vs more wisdome then the foules of the heauen.
Qui docet nos super iumenta terræ, et super volucres cæli erudit nos?
12 Then they crye because of the violence of the wicked, but he answereth not.
Ibi clamabunt, et non exaudiet, propter superbiam malorum.
13 Surely God will not heare vanitie, neyther will the Almightie regard it.
Non ergo frustra audiet Deus, et Omnipotens causas singulorum intuebitur.
14 Although thou sayest to God, Thou wilt not regard it, yet iudgement is before him: trust thou in him.
Etiam cum dixeris: Non considerat: iudicare coram illo, et expecta eum.
15 But nowe because his anger hath not visited, nor called to count the euill with great extremitie,
Nunc enim non infert furorem suum, nec ulciscitur scelus valde.
16 Therfore Iob openeth his mouth in vaine, and multiplieth wordes without knowledge.
Ergo Iob frustra aperit os suum, et absque scientia verba multiplicat.
