Job 35
1 Elihu spake moreouer, and said,
igitur Heliu haec rursum locutus est
2 Thinkest thou this right, that thou hast said, I am more righteous then God?
numquid aequa tibi videtur tua cogitatio ut diceres iustior Deo sum
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 caelum et intuere et contemplare aethera 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 multiplicatae fuerint iniquitates tuae 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 heiulabunt 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 terrae et super volucres caeli 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 singulorum causas 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 eo 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
